The rainbow flag or pride flag is a symbol of LGBT pride and LGBT social movements. The colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community and the spectrum of human sexuality and gender. Using a rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT pride began in San Francisco, California, but eventually became common at LGBT rights events worldwide.

Originally devised by the artists Gilbert Baker, Lynn Segerblom, James McNamara and other activists, the design underwent several revisions after its debut in 1978, and continues to inspire variations. Although Baker's original rainbow flag had eight colors, from 1979 to the present day the most common variant consists of six stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The flag is typically displayed horizontally, with the red stripe on top, as it would be in a natural rainbow.

LGBT people and allies currently use rainbow flags and many rainbow-themed items and color schemes as an outward symbol of their identity or support. There are derivations of the rainbow flag that are used to focus attention on specific causes or groups within the community (e.g. transgender people, fighting the AIDS epidemic, inclusion of LGBT people of color). In addition to the rainbow, many other flags and symbols are used to communicate specific identities within the LGBT community.

Idk if you’re joking, but that’s the premise of the show and how it was marketed originally.

I'm not i'm just stupid, and although it's obvious in hindsight I don't think you can call it the premise beyond a basic 'anti-social guy solves mysteries' their anti-socialness manifests far too differently and wilson hardly if ever acts as a sidekick in solving the medical mysteries like watson does to holmes in crimes(their relationship is completely different), and i don't remember it being referenced in any of the ads back when it was actually broadcasting although my memory is petty vague on those

Edit: seems direct references beyond the name are blink and you'll miss it stuff https://house.fandom.com/wiki/Gregory_House_and_Sherlock_Holmes_connections

Sorry, when I said premise I meant I was under the impression that it was the explicit intent of the creators.
