Rainbow fishing

The act of pretending to be LGBTQ+ (usually online or in media) to gain popularity, clout, sympathy, or likes especially during Pride season or when it benefits their brand. Rainbow fishers throw out vague queer coded content, love songs with no pronouns, rainbow emojis, or ‘supportive’ selfies with zero real life advocacy, hoping to hook the queer community and reel in attention like it’s currency.
Celebs, influencers, attention-hungry NPCs, or straight people who want the aesthetic without the oppression.
She said Ugh, I mean… I said I was gay for the clicks, but now I actually like this guy and the LGBTQ crowd won’t let me evolve. Like, sorry I’m fluid with my brand.

I guess my whole ‘coming out’ post was just rainbow fishing now I like a guy and everyone’s mad I lied. Oops.

Ruined My Rainbow

heterosexual conservative people who think that the queers stole the rainbow and ruined it for everybody else;
queer people who claim the rainbow for themselves and use it to celebrate their pride, they ruin your rainbow with pride !
The queers ruined my rainbow, its for everyone !

Have you heard that artists set ? they literarily ruined my rainbow, smashed it, so good !
