The wave of rainbowification in the aftermath of the US Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage has sparked a predictable backlash from some corners - including one man who mistook television station NBC's iconic logo for a celebration of gay pride.
The NBC's famous peacock logo has had its rainbowcolour scheme for almost 60 years.
Not that Don Stair had noticed - until now, as Raw Story has reported.
"Your changing your station logo with the colors of gays is a disgrace," he wrote on the Facebook wall of his local Arkansas NBC affiliate KARK 4 News.
"Just stay out of it... Your integrity is ruined ... Shame on you!" he continues, promising to switch allegiances to the presumably straighter news alternative ABC KATV.
KARK 4 News politely replied: "We didn't change our logo Don. Same logo as always."
But Stair found one ally in fellow outraged Facebook user Casey Wayne Martineau.
"[I'm] never watching this news channel again you gay rights advocating atheists, jesus will not be happy with you," he told the news channel.
