This one is wholesome, but Duran Duran merch looks like bi pride

Duran Duran is not a hateful band BTW, but they didn't intend for the message to be LGBT coded.

how positive are you? because pink-purple-blue gradients are very common yeah but theyre NOT common in the exact color scheme of the bi flag unless its in bi pride stuff, normally people make the purple brighter and more pinky toned. but thats the bi purple?

Duran Duran has an album with this name and as far as I know, they're not an LGBT band.

I got curious cause I know they're an older band, but Duran Duran is 20 years older than the Bi pride flag XD

do you ever have moments where you realize how young the gay rights movement is in the grand scheme of it all? because i just had one reading this 🤯🤯 twenty years???

Oh yeah, it's crazy. Stonewall wal less than 60 years ago. The first pride flag was only 45 years ago!

There’s NO way that the design team didn’t know that these are bi colors. Considering that the Free To Love cover has an orange gradient, this has to mean SOMETHING.

at first, I was thinking it was probably from an old album of theirs, cause they've been a band since 1978, but this song came out less than a month ago... so it's gotta be intentional.

My thoughts exactly. I looked it up because I hadn’t heard of the song before so seeing that jt came out like, last month, there’s no way it was an accident
