Karl, As one of the few openly gay people on the vanagon list, let me emphatically say that Ron's sticker number 4 is not a gay symbol. The 'gay flag' consists of 6 discrete colors, on a very precise top-to-bottom order: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple. These colors are never portrayed as a spectrum.
