That is an outrageous claim! It makes absolutely no sense.
But, this does::
LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride (1978)
Pride flag (LGBT community)
Main article: Pride flag (LGBT community)
The rainbow flag, sometimes called 'the freedom flag', was popularized as a symbol of
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual and
transgender (
LGBT)
pride and diversity by
San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker in 1978. The different colours symbolize diversity in the
gay community, and the flag is used predominantly at
gay pride events and in
gay villages worldwide in various forms including banners, clothing and jewelry.
Originally created with eight colors,
pink and
turquoise were removed for production purposes and as of 2008, it consists of six colored stripes, which should always be displayed with red on top or to left. Aside from the obvious symbolism of a mixed LGBT community, the colors were designed to symbolize: red (life), orange (healing), yellow (sunlight), green (nature), blue (harmony), and purple/violet (spirit). It is most commonly flown with the red stripe on top, as the colours appear in a natural rainbow.

The flag has very positive meanings!
