TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Oh, so it was intentional?
Yes, they both show the color spectrum in order of shortest wavelength at the top to longest at the bottom
Hmm but Trek is so gay... I guess just one of those happy coincidences
Actually the Pride flag has red on top, this image is not accurate.
The first, albeit short lived, pride flag was similar to the colours as above, though reversed with pink at the top (Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Turquoise, Indigo, Violet). It was soon after that the pink was removed due to cost/availability (can't remember exactly off the top of my head).
Pink was removed so that there would be six colors. This was done so that when the flag was hung on lamp-posts as a banner, there would be three colors on each side, iirc
It seems that the turquoise stripe was dropped, ..."to create an even number of stripes for display on each side of the streetlamps on Market Street for the 1979 Gay Freedom Day parade."

The pink was due to availability by the Paramount Flag Company when they started being made beyond what could be handmade.
I knew it was one of the colors that was dropped for the street lamps! Thanks for the clarification
I'm kind of dubious that this particular happenstance was intentional, but it's worth noting that Roddenberry was actively queer baiting in the accompanying novelization...
Gotta love kirk’s response “why would i hookup with someone who only wants to bang once every seven years.”
I don't know if it was intentional, but seems like a good possibility
