I always thought it was pink. Though some people seem to call certain shades of pink, purple. As far as I know, the pink triangle was a symbol used by Nazi's to tag homosexuals.

Rainbow yes... Pink Triangle for Lesbians and Breast Cancer. Purple for Gay Men. They have used Purple lights at Movie Theatres. Blue for Bi-Sexuals... But Why are these Colors Chosen? Any Ideas?

Blue for bi-sexuals....the Crips might have somethin' to say about that. lol I think this whole color labeling is just stupid. People are just gonna start wearing black and white in fear of being accused of being this or that lol

Isn't kinda like the whole terrorist color alert thing.

Today we're at level pink. That's just reg'lar gay.
Level purple is flaming.
Level rainbow, they're coming en masse, in the form of a parade!
