This was the basic behind my sticker idea.  With the cross (or sacred heart?),
along with the command of Jesus that we love one another, as he has loved us.
I'm nearly tempted to GIMP one up, but I don't know the GIMP.  If someone would
be willing to do that though, I'd be thrilled to print it up and packing tape
it into the window of my car.  I'm still considering putting the rainbow in,
just because I think it could prompt discussion with people who believe
Christianity is incompatible with loving homosexuals, on both sides of the
fence.
