Hm, that's a good point. Do you think that it's fundamentally different to have the HRC marriage equality symbol vs. the rainbow flag then?
I actually would read the rainbow flag as a political statement rather than just a "you are welcome here" statement, but I'm not sure why. I think it probably originally just meant "we welcome you" but maybe I've gotten my symbolism corrupted by the current partisan/political fighting over gay rights? Or something?
