Well frankly, the people who don't are idiots 😅
The light spectrum represents a lot more than LGBTQ+ or rainbows. It represenys visible light, colour palettes, divinity and quite a bit more to many people depending on context. It's about as general a colour scheme you can get without being monotone
Sounds like your issue isn't with Rainbows themselves, but peoples ignorant attitude towards a rainbow. Nothing stopping you enjoying/using rainbows. >

Yes, but the main thing stopping the use of rainbows is the prejudice that comes with it >

What prejudice do you mean? Can you give a direct example of it? >

People assuming that everyone using them is part of the LGBTQ community >

Oh cool so about the least prejudicial prejudice going then.

This should only really bother you if you have an issue with gay people. >

No, I don’t have an issue with them, but I have an issue with being identified as them >

Why? >

I don’t like people seeing me in a different way than I am >

So you tell them, "Oh, I'm not [whatever they assumed you were]" and simply move on. Right? >


Lots of people online don’t ask, 2. It would be a lot of people to answer >

I mean, are you afraid of wearing red in case people think you're communist? Certain colours and designs can mean certain things to people in different situations. That's what symbolism is. But it's also not really an issue at all to use stuff outside their perceived symbolism >

I think it's diffrent for single colours, as they have so many things in nature that you can relate them to, rainbows have, well, rainbows and that's it, so it's a lot easier for people to lose the rainbow = rainbow relation, and adopt the rainbow = lgbtq+ mentallity.
If I see red I think of many things, not just one single, if I see a rainbow I do the same, but not everyone does anymore.
