    No longer does anybody have to actually go into your house/company to get your data, they'll be able to just stick an antenna into the air and get it all. Seems even less secure than our already waning security due to networks becomming larger and more diverse..

    Yes, that's what I thought too initially. It is a pity that gays took such a generic thing to use as a symbol for themselves and their propaganda.

    Related to this, I use to have an Apple "Think Different" sticker on my car (the shape of an apple, but in horizontal rainbow striped colors). I took it off because others told me it could be mistaken as a gay symbol, something I do not want in my car.
