When Don Stair of Arkansas switched on his television set last week, he was livid to see that NBC had changed the colors of its logo to depict a pride rainbow. Or so he thought. So he did what any sane, rational person does and took to Facebook to express his anger.
Stair posted the following comment on KARK 4 News’ Facebook wall:
What Mr. Stair didn’t seem to realize was that NBC’s rainbow peacock logo has been the same since 1986.
Thankfully, the network filled him in on this detail:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That seemed to quell his outrage.
Stair’s comment has since been removed. KARK 4 News says it didn’t delete it, which means he must have realized his mistake and deleted it himself.
As they say down in Arkansas: Bless his heart.

Shows how much he watched NBC to begin with. Get a real life Don Stair, and stay out of the gays life’s.

He apparently is such a bigot that he habitually looks for symbols to further enrage him. This is the kind of crackpot who will end up hurting somebody over an issue (gays) that really has no negative impact on people with a satisfying life.
