why is purple a gay color?
<|assistant|>
Purple is believed to be the color of royalty, luxury, and creativity. In the LGBT community, this color is often associated with pride and self-expression. The association stems from the 1970's when gay pride parades would often be held at sunset and participants would dress in costumes of all colors, but especially purple. As such, it has become a symbol of self-expression, identity, and liberation.
