Nope. My kid is certainly comfortable with individuals no matter what their gender, but he doesn’t really wear colors.

DD sure - she has a tee with a rainbow on it actually.

DS no way, but he mostly only wears sportswear anyway, and wouldn’t wear any other graphic type shirts either

My DS would not wear it either. One of the first insults boys hurl at each other is “gay “homo” or “fag”.

Boy 14 and no. I have an UA rainbow shirt that I wear to sleep in which got some raised eyebrows from him. I’ve never we seen any of his friends who are boys wear it eaithrr.

Yes, but they have two moms, so...

I’m confused by your question. Does your kid wear rainbows but you’re hoping this means they can also still be straight because you’re concerned it means they’re gay? Do you think all rainbows have a specific agenda because they don’t, the pride flag is a specific looking rainbow. Maybe your kid is an ally? Maybe they’re gay or questioning? Maybe they just like rainbows? Maybe they don’t wear them at all but you think they should ...?

Wearing a rainbow doesn’t mean you’re gay. If you’re wearing it as a pride symbol, it can also mean you’re an ally or you support the lgbt community. So wearing a rainbow while not being gay isn’t a bad thing.

My son does - he's in a band.

Yes, and why not? Could be Christian, could be a LGBT ally, could just like rainbows. I'm all three.

daughter- yes.
son- no. but not because he's anti-gay or anything. just not his style- he's more into athletic apparel these days.

Where is this idea coming from that non-gays could be appropriating a symbol that has been related to Christianity for a long, long time?

Your child may be an ally. They may be gay. They may be straight and just like rainbows.

what you need to evaluate, more than their choices in clothing clothing, is why you can’t have a discussion about their sexuality, or their clothing. Instead, you're hoping to crowdsource whatever answer it is you want (or think you dot want) to hear.

So let’s call it like it is, OP. You’ve known the answer for years, but your judgement makes it impossible for your child to come to you.
