Pink Everything!

How odd, that pink is chosen as the color of the gay community. No, it is not quite the community
that chose it so much as the power hegemony that opted to label gays with "pink". It's pink everything nowadays, apparently. Pink dollars, pink photography for gay marriages et cetera. My question would be: Why pink! I mean, if there's a color, perhaps we could always go with purple.

Purple is the land between red and blue. Red being females, blue being males. (don't ask me which dumbass came up with that color categorization). Pink, though? Pink is a rather feminine color, and probably would look more at home on the shoulders of lesbians. Then again, a goodly number of lesbians would not be too happy with that as well. Could it be that gay men like to wear pink? I suppose that would be odd, but it would imply that gay men are intrinsically feminine. Strange...I could've sworn that most gay men I've seen in real life aren't quite feminine...

it's an attempt by the man to shove us all into categorizable sexual orientations! pink was chosen because gay men are seen to be less a man, and thus more feminine, and thus more pink!!!!

i say shove it to the man!! and have free random sex with whoever and whatsoever pleases you! ..

(well maybe not)
