(Little Rock, AK) 8 year-old Stephanie Nesbitt and her 6 year-old brother Jimmy have had it. "We want the rainbow back!" said Stephanie protesting outside a local KIDS-R-US.

"The rainbow was not meant to be a symbol for homosexuals," said Nebbitt's attorney Bill Stanton. "It's for children. And we want G.L.A.A.D (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) to give it up."
 
The fight for the rainbow began last fall, when Stephanie wore a temporary rainbow tattoo to school. "I have to walk past the middle-school kids, and when they saw the rainbow they got all mean and stuff," said Stephanie. "Instead of saying, 'Hey kid that's a cool rainbow, where can I get one?', they called me a freaking dyke."

Jimmy Nesbitt had a similar experience when he put a rainbow sticker on his BMX bike. "The big kids forced me to ride without a seat, talk with a lisp and sing about smoking pole. Now I might be a bed-wetter, but I'm no fag...no offense."

G.L.A.A.D spokesperson Josh Pumple said that his organization would not surrender the rainbow. "To us, the rainbow represents all colors, creeds and lifestyles. It's a good symbol for us, but we'd be glad, ha ha, to share it with the Nesbitts and all the children (straight, gay or bi) of the world."

"No deal.These kids deserve to have the rainbow all to themselves," said Bill Stanton. "But these kids are realistic. They know you can't get something for nothing. So they've authorized me to say that in exchange for the rainbow, they are willing to give up unicorns, Hannah Montana and baths."
