    An Arkansas man has likely turned 50 shades of red after mistakenly accusing an NBC station of changing their iconic peacock logo's colors to the 'colors of gays' in support gay marriage.

In this rainbow all he saw was red.

An Arkansas man went on a birdbrained rant, mistakenly accusing NBC of changing its iconic peacock logo to the “colors of gays” — a spectrum they’ve used for nearly 50 years.

Don Stair, whose since-deleted comment on KARK 4 News’ Facebook page has blown up on social media, slammed the NBC affiliate while mistakenly assuming that they were publicly supporting same-sex marriage with the colors.

“Your changing your station logo with the colors of gays is a disgrace,” Stair complained to the Little Rock station. “Just stay out of it… Your integrity is ruined… ABC KATV is my choice in the future for all Little Rock station viewing… Shame on you!”

What happened next likely prompted a foot-in-mouth response from the questionable NBC viewer.

“We didn’t change our logo Don. Same logo as always,” the station commented back to a rush of upvotes and jokes.

But according to Raw Story, Stair wasn’t alone in his blunder. A fellow Facebook user was seen rushing to his support.

“Oh so gay people can marry now and your media relations group have the graphics team change the peacock to the gay pride colors?!” Casey Wayne Martineau posted. “(That’s it, I’m) never watching this news channel again you gay rights advocating atheists, jesus will not be happy with you. You’re my boy, Don.”
