The pink flamingo thing has morphed a little in recent years. Pink flamingos have long been associated with "tackiness." A cheap decoration that "not-so-affluent" people might put in their front yard. It's a jokey thing that's been a laugh forever. The color pink is stereotypically a feminine color and has been associated with being gay. So pink flamingos are now a "gay thing." I love how Adam uses them in TwoFux. Unapologetic and fun.

What is the "symbolism" of pink flamingos? It seems to relate to being gay... but why? Just wondering.
It's supposed to be 'flaming gay sex'. I have no idea what that means and not sure I want to know.
Hahahaha!

Makes sense, Dee R Gee... "tacky" was the only word that came to my mind in relation to "pink flamingos"....
