::The various leather stores in San Francisco today as of 2012 still give out the printed color code cards mentioning the colors on the longer list and their meanings and they still sell all the bandana colors on the longer list.

:::Obviously, it is true that the colors are worn much less often today, because a lot of gay people today [[Cruising for sex|cruise]] through the Internet instead of going to bars, so they can just state their preferences on the website rather than wear the colors to a bar. However, the longer list should definitely be preserved if only as a historical artifact. A sentence could be added simply saying that the colors are less used now because a lot of people cruise over the Internet instead of going to bars.

I agree that the extended list should be restored. The code is used by multiple members of the community in Portland ME ~ including some of the ones on the secondary list (I rock a lavender one from time to time). They are usually worn out to the clubs/bars and are most often worn by members of the lesbian/queer community, so the idea that they are primarily used by cruising gay men is an anachronism. My two cents - restore the code![[User:Punkrockgrrl|Punkrockgrrl]] ([[User talk:Punkrockgrrl|talk]]) 15:46, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
