Are we seriously even having this conversation? Would we even discuss
whether using "canary" makes someone look Asian? Or, better yet, not
whether magenta makes people look gay, but whether it makes them look
Communist? Does green make people look like a Star Trek Vulcan?
Color can evoke mood, time of day, location, and any number of other
things, but I'd be hard pressed to believe color can evoke ***ual
preference (certainly ***iness, but not ***ual preference!), race,
gender, creed, or anything similar. We might as well suggest that
using mottled template patterns and white light--making the stage look
a little like the patterns on a cow's hide--suggests the actors might
practice bestiality with cattle.
Perhaps your friend needs to seek counseling, if he's "sees" ***ual
preference--and is bothered by it--so easily.
