In 1978, openly gay artist Gilbert Baker designed the first rainbow flag. But now, even though it never belonged to Texas Republicans, they want to "reclaim" it from the LGBTQ community. I can't even believe I'm typing this because it's seriously stupid.
And they want you to buy a T-shirt to do it. The Bible passage, Genesis 9:13-15, referenced on the shirts, reads: "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind."
Lucky you, it's discounted from $30 to $23.
