You're right. "Hello Kitty" shirts make Carson Kressley cry. Methinks we need to send the Queer Eye boys his way.

Why not pick some unique color scheme?

Every time I wear my 'Hello Kitty' t-shirt with the rainbow on it, people look at me funny.
You make a good point. At the risk of being labeled a homophobe right wing nut, I want to add that the word "gay" should be returned to its original definition.

No one can say they had a "gay time" anymore without it referring to homosexuality. The Flintstones used to have a "gay old time" but not in the modern usage of the term.

I am for gay liberation. I mean the liberation of the word "gay". Free gay now!

What I don't like is that in certain circles the color purple--any kind of purple--is associated with homosexuality. I like the color purple because of its association with royalty...
Just FYI, "Royal Purple" refers to a more reddish color, like that of red wine.

And if he has the Hello Kitty "Neck Massager," forget it...

Hello Kitty? Trust me, it's not the rainbow. o.O

They're used on everything in Japan...mainly on "adult novelty" items. And we give it to kids here in the west!

Hmmm...

When I see a rainbow, I generally think of SPECTRUM, but then I'm a Captain Scarlet fan...
