In Tibetan symbolism the rainbow is a sign of enlightenment. The manifestation of rainbows at the death of a person is called, "rainbow body."

Thank you for the info.
now, so know the meaning of the rainbow for the Tibetans.

In America there is a movement from people who are attracted to the same sex, they use the rainbow as their symbol. They are very attached to gender and their body as their main identity, which is totally the opposite symbolism in Tibetan Buddhism, with practice one lets go of all attachments. Hence the manifestation of rainbows.

That makes sense
