Related: About this forumKen Ham wants ark light display to 'take the rainbow back'
Lights from every color in the rainbow bathe the giant model of Noah's Ark in Northern Kentucky this Christmas.
But the holiday light display at the Ark Encounter in Grant County isn't just meant to be aesthetically pleasing. Answers in Genesis President Ken Ham made sure to add some political and social commentary to the ark's light display.
In a post on the Answers in Genesis website this week, Ham said Christians need to take the rainbow back. He bemoaned how it's become a symbol for the gay rights movement.
He said the rainbow should not symbolize "freedom, love, pride or the LGBTQ movement," but rather God's covenant with Noah.

{Chris} Hartman {director of the LGBTQ-rights organization, the Fairness Campaign} admired the look of the lights, though.
"It makes the ark look incredibly gay," Hartman said.

As I understand it, God promised the earth would not be inundated by blithering idiots. So what went wrong?

Is go to Answer in Genesis' Twitter and sincerely thank Ken Ham for supporting LGBTQ community (feigning ignorance).
If dozens or hundreds of people do it... well, he'll get pissed off, and you know what? That's a good enough reason.

Some people are so fucking stupid. Seriously? Take the rainbow back? Christians don't own the rainbow. I must admit Chris Hartman's comments made me laugh.
