Pride flags, symbolizing groups of people united by sexual orientation or gender expression, are ubiquitous. Most Americans today can make an intuitive connection between rainbow colors and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights (LGBT) movement. Pride flags, like all flags, have been a source of contention and inspiration in politics and society. The response of religious groups to the display of the pride flags has been a notable arena for observing the dichotomy of opinion not only about pride flags, but also about alternative sexualities in general. Americans’ love for flags as representations of their identities—whether national, subcultural, religious, or sexual—offers opportunities for the testing of social boundaries when tempers flare and opposites collide.
