  -> спасибо, Михаил!

agree  DariaK: Я согласна с Эдгаром, думаю, что на русском это скорее "голубой". В русском языке gay community ассоциируется именно с этим цветом. А в США скорее с розовым....

  -> Так как это явление так сказать импортное, то думаю, уважая источник, достаточно просто взять слово "розовый" в кавычки, а за согласие спасибо :)
