Purple rhino questions
Jun. 7th, 2008 12:19 pmI really don't want to get caught in the controversy about whether the purple rhino virtual gift is a Good Idea. (I try to steer clear of the really world-shattering issues.) But I'm puzzled.
What is this "forgotten" symbol of the Gay Rights Movement?
Why have I never heard about it until now? Ignorance? Britishness? (Rhinos failed to swim the Atlantic?)
Who thought it would make an inspiring symbol for gay people?
Why?
Why a rhino?
Is this all a wind up?
Why?
Why purple?
Is there any connection to the Purple Cow Poem?
And, finally... why?
Please help if you can!
