What''s with the purple in some people''s avatars?

[echelon6]

I''ve noticed some of the regulars here have added some purple to their avatars. I''m curious, what''s the story behind that?

Everyone''s turning gay.

It''s something in the water.

That''s a joke, not a put down. I suppose you think rainbow flags are just for people who happen to like lots of color

Being PC is good and all that, but let''s not go overboard shall we? I''ll say this, gays certainly have a better sense of humor than uptight heteros.

Is it the pink heels? It is in honor of Lorelei hitting 30k; the 1st person on PS to do it and also for all her super helpful posts. let me see if I can find the link.

Not sure what purple has do do with gay either. But anyway, I thought they were pink :/ I''m gonna go read the link.

It''s supposed to be pink (but there is probably some variation from monitor settings), and it''s for Lorelei as Skippy mentioned. Some of us got a bit confused with all the same pink shoe avatars, so we pinkified our regular avatars to show our support.

Just being silly.
No offense intended.

Remember one of the teletubies was rumored to be gay, in part, because he was purple?

So I guess you are the gauge of what is offensive/not offensive. Now THAT is funny.

I get that the gay comment was supposed to be funny, but whenever people talk like that it just makes me think they are ignorant.... I''m not trying to be mean at all, I''m just putting it out there
