After the deluge he promised “l won´t give such a big massacre to my children again. Whenever you see the rainbow above, remember my this promise.”

 

 

I have seen enought to understand that it is a big illusion. Who told first time how many colors there are in a rainbow? Why seven? Christ named the red with his blood. Sacrifice!  and then color of an orange reperesanted The Separation. Life is yellow, Happiness, green; Righteousness, blue; Covering, dark blue and Justice, purple. I think in 1960`s after the murder of an important gay activist, the gay council declareing that love is natural (?) and real (?), decided to take the light blue color which is represanting the social integration, out of their rainbow. During the time, the rainbow flag of gay movement has had different color fragmants however today the six coloured one without the light blue is the most common one.

-   Look at the nature my son, what an astonishing balance.

-   Who cares the nature! Man doesn´t have a fatherhood.

I offer to the multicultural peace movement to put red lines between the each color on their rainbow flag. All generalizations hurt the indivudualities. If we think Peace is a common goal, it just shows how little we know. These two children (I and my beatiful sister) who are playing their roles in front of an artifical landscape, as a poor painting willing to be a photograph with some abstracted brush strokes, are marked with a rainbow made of tears and people cant change their sex just passing under a rainbow.
