Let's reflect on this tweet from a certified homophobe and self- certified "Christian" who thinks light refracted through water vapor somehow has religious meaning:
Worst example of cultural appropriation ever: LGBTs stole the rainbow from God. It's his. He invented it. Gen. 9:11-17. Give it back.— Bryan Fischer (@BryanJFischer) April 2, 2017
"He invented it." Patent search!
Fischer's ign'ant tweet was occasioned by the death on Thursday of artist Gilbert Baker, the man who created the rainbow flag in 1978.
We like this response (and there are many hundreds in Fischer's twitter feed as well) that treats this twit with all the seriousness he deserves:
@anamariecox God was heard saying "They're always after me lucky charms" as the gays ran off with his rainbow.— Grounded Reason (@GroundedReason) April 2, 2017

The responses on his Twitter are awesome. There's not one sympathetic response. My fave so far:
"You're wearing a blue shirt in your profile picture. God invented the color blue. It's even in rainbows! Give it back."
Yes! And the following one I think was something like "God created your skin -- give it back." He's an unredeemable asshole with an eminently punchable face.
Fischer is using a god invented by a primitive Middle Eastern tribe thousands of years ago. I'd tell him to give it back to them, but their descendants have mostly outgrown it.
Hahaha! And rightly so!
