An anti-gay right winger I work with has rainbow colored frames on her glasses. Ironic or not?

I need a ruling here. Does this fit the definition of irony? I've always struggled with this one. :)

The fact that she is anti-gay marriage and bigoted isn't funny, but I have to find humor somewhere.

2. Well, we don't really own the rainbow

Lots of people think they're pretty

When I moved to rural NH, there was a nursery on the main road called "Pride Planting" and they were flying a giant rainbow windsock at the end of the driveway. I saw it and thought "Family." So, I went in, but it was just a very nice Christian lady who thought the windsock was colorful and pretty. She didn't have a clue.

3. Honestly, it was years before I realized those "rainbow" stickers were anything but

70s-ish throwbacks.

4. Why was/ is the rainbow used as an emblem.. I've known that its used,

but I was young when it was around.. and though I know it, I don't know why it was chosen. I love it. Who doesn't like rainbows?

5. Is this her?:

6. ? why not ask her about it--

or tell her how amused you are that she wears a gay emblem on her face every day?



she sounds like she is sending mexed missages
