why is purple a gay color?
<|assistant|>
Purple has often been associated with gay pride and visibility due to its association with the LGBTQIA+ community. It is frequently used at LGBTQIA+ events and festivals, such as pride marches and parades, as a symbol of unity and solidarity. Additionally, the color purple is also sometimes used by members of the LGBTQIA+ community as a way to express their identity, as a 'coming out' of sorts.
