Unfortunately, like many other revered symbols, the essence of the Rainbow has been obscured by many factions over the centuries of mankind—some tainting its iconic use. Rainbow Genesis is here to take back the Rainbow in all its shimmering glory.
A 2016 news article involving Rainbows controversially paired with a racial slur and/or homophobia, sparked this site. A long-awaited desire to reclaim the Rainbow took hold.
Originally created to simply remind you of the Rainbow's rightful place for all to enjoy, this site will undoubtedly evolve to include commentary on many of society's faux pas—in this humble hippie's opinion. The posts may not be often, but they will always be heartfelt and stated with respect for all.
Yes ... I love RAINBOWS,** not because of WHAT I am, but because of WHO I am! An upbeat, half-glass-full kinda person who just happens to be a heterosexual, white, spiritual, fun-loving hippie, tired of blending in with the SILENT majority! :-)
And before I start getting hate mail or Tweets from activists in the
LGBTQ community, I’m not anti-gay or really anti-much-of-anything. I simply
don’t want to be labeled something I’m not, for displaying a beautiful Rainbow, or accused of using a symbol “irreverently”—without thought that it could mean anything else. (“Gay” also USED to define happy, carefree …)
THE RAINBOW BELONGS TO EVERYONE and NO ONE. I'm simply taking back the Rainbow for all of us. Enjoy!

of God's covenant to never destroy all life on earth with a global flood again.

** Judy Garland
sang the ultimate Rainbow song in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Wiki reports: “In
the 1960s, a reporter asked how she felt about having a large gay following.
She replied, ‘I couldn't care less. I sing to people.’”
