Apparently not many people are using them, so would you?
Would you sit on the rainbow bench?

it's a nice bench honestly and i like the message, but the only reason i wouldn't sit there is because i don't like talking to people lol
What I like is some LGBT benches were made before and people were shocked that they were vandalized by random graffiti, when that's what happens to all benches lol.
Then they tried to come out saying they are shocked by such actions, it's disrespectful and homophobic.
It's not that at all it's just people are going to treat a bench like any other bench lol.
Why not?
They stole my idea! What would happen if we had a dating bench at a popular location?
Why do they have to make it an LGBT thing? Why not for everyone?
That's an interesting idea. Yes, I would like to use IT. It's a great thing. I AM esentially a shy person, but I like to talk with strangers about various things, books, school memories, shopping preferences, etc. This is a great idea for those WHO are lonely and just want someone to talk to for a bit.

I don't care about the colours. In fact, I think the colours enhance the appearance, but the design (curved like a banana), no. I don't like strangers talking to me, engaging in their silly "small talk". Small talk is for people with small minds.
It's not the colors, but what they represent. The rainbow used to be the symbol of the Inca Empire, the alphabet people have completely ruined it
I would sit on the bench I wouldn't let that stop me. I actually dig the colors I like bright colors that pop the color of the rainbow which is the promise that God would not flood the Earth ever again also Joseph was given the coat of many colors by his father. And It might give you a chance to tell some unsaved people about why they need to believe on Jesus and accept him so they don't go to hell 😎 Romans 10:9
@Siri137 well that's your opinion and you're entitled to it I happen to disagree I believe in heaven and hell I believe once we are conceived we are an eternal being our spirit and soul that is, this body will die but our spirit will live on and eternity somewhere.
@Siri137 I could simply say my take is fact and the fact that the Earth does revolve around the Sun is because the God who created the universe made it happen and maintains it to continue to happen. The Earth revolving around the Sun as it rotates as it tilts on its axis also the moon with its movements for the seasons all in perfect symmetry all the stars placed in the sky the constellations the Big Dipper Little Dipper Pisces etc this could not be created or maintained by an explosion or an accident. Only a supreme being could create all of this and maintain it
@Siri137 I just happen to believe in the god that created the universe and everything in it and his son the Lord Jesus Christ who paid the price for everybody's sends to be forgiven. Romans chapter 10 verse 9 is my favorite Bible verse
A common pattern among atheists is that they’ll become angry when their disbelief is challenged. What do they have to gain from their stubborn insistence that this mortal coil is all we have? How do they even stand it? What do they gain by thinking that their actions alone will hold back a tidal wave of disaster? I wouldn’t be able to handle thinking that everything we do is ultimately for nothing, and that we’ll never see our loved ones again. This isn’t mere whimsy on my part; there are too many things that happened to save my neck long before a problem occurred for me to write them off as mere coincidence.
@82lynx I'm not angry, but yes, you're actually correct about many (online, at least) atheists who become angry, and I've often wondered about that. It could be because they don't really believe what they claim to believe, or... something else. I don't know. It's weird though. To me it's symptomatic of insecurity, of vulnerability.
Anyway, what do YOU have to gain from YOUR stubborn insistence that there is more to life than just this? Who would ever want to go to hell? Or "heaven"? Heaven would, at best, be bloody boring! Or reincarnation. I don't want to come back here to this hellhole! No, I would prefer the nothingness of oblivion, because eternal life would SUCK!
@82lynx "I wouldn’t be able to handle thinking that everything we do is ultimately for nothing, and that we’ll never see our loved ones again."
Well, deal with it, because that's how it is. "Mere coincidence". Coincidences DO happen you know. And no, there's no "meaning" behind them; they just are.
@Siri137 Not angry huh? It sure sounds like you are. I just speak the truth; I have no real friends, never did actually, so I’ve nothing to lose by doing so.
You enthusiastically agreed with me a while back about small talk being for those with small minds, but I get a virtual slap in the face over this one. I’m not the least bit surprised.
For the record I don’t believe in reincarnation. I’ll leave that one to those who follow the go-to religion for godless celebrities and East Asia.
One more outburst like that and you’re blocked, for the sake of my own mental health. I learned long ago that people can’t be trusted, but I’m not putting up with their BS either.
They have the colours wrong. Left to right ROYGBIV is correct, but then it repeats in the opposite direction. Rainbows don't do that.
Check out images of double rainbows. The outer rainbow is inverted...

Best image I've found...
Here's one I took a while back. I never noticed the colours were inverted. If you wear polarised sunglasses you'll often see hidden 2nd rainbows
@purplepoppy Once again, you have educated me. I never realised the second rainbow reversed the colours. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a double rainbow. Now that I think about the physics, it makes sense. Thanks for posting this.
I still wouldn't sit on the bench though. 🤔
Talking to everyday people is fine “strangers” has a negative connotation I think so let’s not use that.
should I feel the need to rest and that bench is there then why not. Who knows I may even meet an interesting person. I have lived in England for 18 years , not sure how many fellow country folk would share my liberal attitude though 😂
@purplepoppy Well, purple, I, personally, am enamored with everything you post, and I would sit on the benches, and hopefully I would not encounter the local serial killer, that would leave my head on the bench in a peach basket. 🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️😁
I wouldn't care what color it is. It's just a bench. I've done a lot of long distance walking. I've sat on rocks, stumps, guardrails, pavement, grass, dirt mounds, fences, etc. If I need to rest, I'm sitting on it. It's. Just. A. Bench.
It makes me think that they are used by LGBTs exclusively
Those are just plain public benches, so why would I not accept to sit there? Whatever the significance of the colours, what I see in the pictures is beautiful and sympathetic.
Nope i won't since i don't support homosexuals or weird transformers and their derives!
Stop forcing people to accept things that they don't want to accept, it's like shoving it in their thoat, nope i don't like them, i'm against them and wouldn't like to be near one of them!
I consider them people and for sure i don't devaluate them because they are people like me but if they don't want to change or accept help than each on his/her own path...
If I’m tired enough I’ll sit. But don’t no body come talk to me. I wanna be left alone.
no. it would be just my luck that instead of a hot looking woman sitting next to me it would end up being a urine soaked wino with bad teeth.
Amazing how so many people are so easily triggered by colours now.
I think it's a very creative idea. And probably if I didn't have to rush all the time I would find it difficult not to sit on one.
Good place to get drunk - and get some sleep thereafter :)
at England, yes...
here in Texas... that's a BBQ grill, not a bench
Nice and cool idea. I would for sure sit on it and capture the next insta post. If tomorrow a celebraty sat it, people would flock to capture pictures and talk to each other!
oh hell no your highness 🤣
I honestly like the rainbow benches. I mean, if you need new friends, then you know where the place to go is-this bench.
Plus, this bench gives me happycore/smilecore vibes.
I think the point in England isn't the benches it's that everything is gay and inclusive and if you disagree you literally get arrested... They also are infested with Muslims, England is sick of everything liberal but they're outnumbered now
Fuck no!!! Not cause it's a rainbow. Anyone who knows me knows I love a good fucking rainbow. But cause I don't want anyone sitting down to talk to me. Nope not today go away
