I was some really straight friends who had experienced the Dead in college. Mary Beth, Time wife, was not into them at all, staunch Catholic, anti gay, but was there because Tim was. When that rainbow hit,w she was blown away.
Coming on the heels of the gay marriage SCOTUS ruling the week before and the same day as the Pride parade in SF, and the same weekend as the Kate Wolf festival (Kate was one of the first openly gay people I remember), the coincidence was unreal.
And for Mary Beth, well she still talks about it, and went a long way to temper her opinion of gay people. I asked her then "was that the hand of God? The hand of Allan Ginsburg and Kate Wolf?"
She said it was the most spiritual thing she ever saw. Unsure of what but she is still thinking about it.
