I should mention this since I "did the rainbow thing". The PDU is never preachy and those symbolic and subtle things and song lyrics are all there are of anything remotely controversial... other than at times being politically "controversial" because that is impossible to avoid no matter who you are, your opposites are always out there... but Professor Pratt and the other song writers OFTEN speak for the left sincerely for me.
So, for the really militant LGBTQ people who might be offended just because I am not any letters... "To honor ones own freedom is, in essence, to honor the freedom of all others" is something I live, not just something I say. It's probably engrained in me more than any of Neil's phrases because it comes from childhood and my grandfather. I have several gay relatives, I think nothing of it at all. It's just not relevant too me. That is what America is for, it is one of the only places you can truly be free. You only get to live once, not twice, and you should be whatever person it makes you most happy to be and do whatever it is that makes you the most happy as long as it isn't infringing on other's rights to do the same thing. And, I apologize for not knowing all the letters, but I think the same way no matter what letter or combination of letters you want to be. That's what America is supposed to be.
And, the true source of "Cygnus, The Rainbow Spirit" is that Neil calls Cygnus "The God of Balance". How can one of the first things about the "God of Balance" not be that he is "All Inclusive" and "The Rainbow Spirit" is the first "nickname" that character ever had. Most of the important characters have a lot of names...
