Taste the Rainbow

I recall Kanye West saying on the Ellen show that the rainbow is such a great visual that can be used artistically in so many interesting and creative ways, but because it's stapled into everyone's head as the standard symbol for homosexuality, many are afraid to utilize and appreciate such a wonderful and colorful aesthetic.

I hear ya Mr. West...

The Tagalog word for "Rainbow" is "Bahaghari", which according to TagalogWords literally translates to "King's Loincloth." Go figure.
