WHY MUST I GET DISTRACTED BY THESE RANDOM THOUGHTS?!?!?

Found myself wondering this for absolutely no reason. Just struck me. Sure, Unicorns are pretty darned Gay... but RAINBOWS have been designated as THE Symbol of Gayosity! But then again... a hulking white Stallion with a giant phallus on it's head? That there has got to be the gayest thing I've ever seen!

BTW, this kind of came from a conscious decision to stop using "Gay" as a descriptive/derogatory term such as "This posting is totally Gay". I will from her eon out only use the word "Gay" when speaking of things that actually *are* Gay, like Unicorns and Rainbows. Then that led to me thinking that wait a minute... what makes Rainbows and Unicorns so Gay? They're both standard parts of pretty much any kids room - boy or girl! Happy, fun decorations used by everybody from LeVar Burton (of Reading Rainbow fame) to Rainbow Brite! So why are they considered (by at least me) to be so gay? My mind didn't like that argument and decided to go off-tangent with the whole "Which one is Gayer" thing.

Welcome to my mind.

Reminds me of a joke from Demetri Martin:

"I’m in a weird situation because I like rainbows - but I’m not gay. So, I wear a rainbow on my shirt - but then under it, it says “not gay ” But I’m not against gay people, so under that I have to put "but supportive." I just think its weird that one group took refracted light. That’s pretty greedy, gays."

Now I want to see a Brother's Grimm slash Todd McFarland rendition of the unicorn under a rainbow. The unicorn will be an undead dracolich type unicorn with bodies impaled on it's sadistic horn of impalement and a rainbow of blood and bodily fluids. Cenobite meets unicorn.

I went with Unicorn. That flippin' Uni from D&D still makes me puke a little in my mouth. I'm a girl. I liked Unicorns and Rainbows, usually together; but rainbows we could see in real life which everyone could enjoy whether in a city or farm. Rainbows could be everywhere. Unicorns were something more magical.
