June has been hijacked by the rainbow flag—a symbol of delusion, a bending of nature, relativism of truth, and an embracing of darkness.
It is almost summer. June is underway. When I was a child, that meant the sweetness of the first days of vacation, hours of leisure exploring the backyard, messing with anthills, and riding my bike. June heralded July 4th celebrations, fireworks, and warm evening family gatherings. I loved June.
We all know that something bizarre has happened to June. It has been dubbed “Pride Month.” Instead of the smells of cut grass and grilling meat, it seems to be flooded with rainbow flags. Well, if society insists on focusing on the rainbow, let us consider it.
A rainbow is an optical illusion. The latter term means: an image seen by the eye that differs from what is actually there. The rainbow occurs when sunlight hits water droplets, be they raindrops, mist from a waterfall, or fog. In order to be visible, the rainbow must be directly in front of the viewer, and the sun must be behind him. In fact, the term antisolar point refers to the imaginary point exactly opposite the sun, according to the observer’s position. Even though it seems to be an arc, a rainbow is actually a circle. An observer only sees the half above the horizon. Since the rainbow is an optical illusion, every viewer sees a different one. Vantage points and horizons differ.
