Kids drew rainbows long before they became associated with LGBT. It seems doubtful to claim to support tolerance - of anyone at all - by being intolerant of this. Most of all, perhaps we should remember that setting a good example by being tolerant and reasonable ourselves is the best way to teach tolerance and reason to others.
Regarding anti-vaxxers, it’s a good example of how people often can be their own greatest obstacle. Generally, more attention should be drawn to the *numbers* of people with such beliefs, since the attention drawn by them makes them seem bigger than they really are.
Maybe actual vaccination rates, adverse effect rates and the percentage of unvaccinated persons should be part of notices pointing out misinformation...?
