Wearing clothing that is synonymous to LGBTQ

Q: I recently came across a social media message stating that the wearing of rainbow-colored clothing is impermissible. The reason stated was that the rainbow colors are synonymous with the LGBTQ movement. Is this correct or is the wearing of such clothing permissible?

A: The principle of the shariah is that we abstain from areas of doubt. If this is a symbol of a deviate group then you should definitely refrain.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
