Obviously the priest should have been more careful if he didn’t intend to support gay sex, since it no doubt disturbs others besides yourself when they see it–the rainbow insignia having become the flag of support for support for homosexual activity.

With this line of thinking, ought we not to redesign St. Peter’s tomb in the Vatican as to no longer bear the inverted cross upon which he died?

Hawaii is part of the United States, but it is located in a part of the world where most of the surrounding dioceses belong to the Conference of Bishops of the South Pacific (CEPAC).

Since they have indults for different Holy Days of Obligation, I would recommend looking at Google for CEPAC guidelines in this matter.

No, USCCB would have competence in Hawaii, not CEPAC. Also, the OP is in California, not Hawaii.

My next question would be why the OP could see the priest’s stole at all, when a chasuble is required.
 
For those Catholic and non-Catholics or those in foreign territories who willingly or un-willingly deny the current relation of the rainbow colors used by the gay community Wikipedia states other wise en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay

The rainbow flag is a symbol of gay pride.

Feel free to read the Wiki article or just glance at the pictures;)

Please don’t jump to conclusions; since he was not from your diocese, maybe no one told him that the red stole was the uniform of the day. The rainbow is a universal symbol of redemption; a promise made to all of humankind.

Not on a stole, it isn’t. Symbolism aside, whether it’s a reference to Noah or the gay movement, stoles aren’t supposed to be a mismash of colours. They are to be of the colour of the day.

Because there is still that illicit practice of some priests wearing stoles outside their (usually white) chasubles.
