* "I like your pride shirt."[[labelnote:Explanation]]A comic in which a woman mistakes a man's ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon'' tee shirt for a gay pride shirt. The comic caught on among Pink Floyd's LGBTFanbase, who poked fun at its queerphobic undertones (as homophobes occasionally claim that the pride flag "appropriates" rainbow imagery) by either replacing the design on the shirt or jokingly calling the cover for ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' a pride symbol. The fact that the rainbow on the album cover and the rainbow on the pride flag have identical color schemes only heightens such jokes.[[/labelnote]]
