I ask that you not take this lightly. This didn't take me long to do (about half an hour, tops, with the background greyscaling originally), but it does mean a lot to me.
If you know me at all, you know that I'm not someone who likes to tout the whole "rainbow pride" thing.. rather against it, really. But you must also understand that I do enjoy my sexuality. I'm not gay, but I'm not straight, but I'm not bisexual either. I'm somewhere in between gay and bi, really. So while I don't express "pride" in it, per se, I know it's there, and I know that I'm not shameful of it. I guess what I'm trying to get at is that the greyscaled background, the coloured guy, and the rainbow overlay are symbolic of the different facets of me. The grey is how I prefer to see myself. The colour is the way that I need to be for the world. The rainbow is that which is innate and cannot be changed in me.
