There are few things in the world capable of calling immediate silence, and immediately afterwards bursts of pure joy, almost childlike even in adults. It happens in front of a sperm whale who decides to leave the abyss and emerge by jumping in front of your dinghy, to a newborn smiling for the first time, to the Northern Lights that take the sky in a second in the Arctic night.
Ma most of all it happens with the rainbow. Less rare, more familiar, equally powerful and without borders. It is not only thanks to one of the most iconic films of all time, The Wizard of Oz, an ode to solidarity, friendship, the acceptance of the other however it presents itself, which in 1939 made Over the Rainbow sung by teenage Judy Garland a hymn to universal love.
The rainbow was a symbol even before San Francisco’s combative homosexual community chose it for the Gay Freedom Pride Parade in June 1978 by painting it by hand. But it remains true that going to Castro at least once in your life, the first, proud gay district in the world, makes great sense for anyone. If we also think that Bible scholars agree that “the arch in heaven”, which appeared on Noah’s ark after the great flood as a symbol of peace in chapter 9 of the book of Genesis, is to be interpreted as a weapon, in that divine case, deposited because the flood is over, the rainbow is a flag flying because the battle is won. A peaceful and colorful “war is over”. To look for in the places we have chosen in this gallery, or wherever we want in the world.
