Who is even wearing 6 different mono-colored watches at the same time just to make a point?
They're not. Don't know where you got that idea from
I get his point though - just wearing one of them really has no LGBT affiliation: it just looks like a monochromatic watch. Maybe it's that subversion that Malaysia is afraid of.
What about the rainbow flag on them
I went on to read that it also has six colours as opposed to the seven on a "real" rainbow as well. I'm getting more educated every day.
Apparently, there should have only been 6 colours in the rainbow in the first place. Newton allegedly added indigo because he believed that there should be 7 for occult reasons.
