Pink Floyd fans lashed out at conservatives who mistook the band’s “Dark Side Of The Moon” logo for a pro-LGBT rainbow.
This week, the legendary prog rockers announced a special 50th anniversary reissue box set of their iconic album. The 1973 recording uses a prism that refracts light, creating rainbow colors.
To launch the new box set, the band shared an updated version of the album artwork as their official Facebook profile picture. He sees a prism with “50” written inside. Inside the ‘0’ are the rainbow colors reminiscent of the ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ cover.
However, some fans took the new profile picture as a statement in defense of the LGBTQ+ movement and shared their anger at what they say is the “woke” movement.
“Lose the rainbow, you’re making a fool of yourself!” one wrote, while another said he wouldn’t listen anymore Pink Floyd in the future.
“Will you wake up with a rainbow?” added another angry fan. “Is there a direct flag? I want equal representation, don’t get me wrong, we all have to be true to who we are.”
In response, several Floyd fans laughed at the gratuitous anger, with one writing in the comments section: “I thought it was a joke and should have seen it with my own eyes. Are people really getting mad about the rainbow that has ALWAYS been on that iconic cover?’
Another added: “You realize you’re a homophobe when you get mad at the rainbow that’s always been Pink Floyd logo. She shines from the triangle; represents the beginning of life and all the paths and influences throughout life.”
The furore on the right over the Pink Floyd 50th anniversary post as a “rainbow wake” is the height of MAGA ignorance. It is a prism of their own making, so to speak. pic.twitter.com/MJp2B8cxx9

The new box set “Dark Side Of The Moon” will go on sale a few days after the 50th anniversary of its release in Great Britain (which took place on March 16, 1973) on March 24 and will celebrate the seminal album through an updated version of the original release. The reissue will include CD and vinyl of the album, as well as Blu-ray and DVD audio with the original 5.1 mix and updated stereo versions.
It will also include another Blu-Ray disc with an Atmos mix, as well as CD and LP ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon — Live At Wembley Empire Pool, London, 1974’. The live recording will also be released separately on CD and vinyl on the same day as the box set, meaning it will be available as a separate album for the first time.
A book titled Pink Floyd — The Dark Side Of The Moon: 50th Anniversary will also go on sale on March 24. Curated by photographer Jill Furmanowski, created in collaboration with the group, it contains rare and previously unpublished photographs taken during Dark Side Of The Moon’s moonwalks between 1972 and 1975.
Last year Pink Floyd released a special charity single “Hey Hey Rise Up” to raise money for humanitarian charities helping victims of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war. In December, the band announced that the song had raised £500,000 for the cause.
