The textures are simple ones, for example this one is the red:

texture {pigment { color rgb <1.0, 0.0, 0.0104>}
         finish  {ambient 0.3
                  diffuse 0.7
                  specular 1.0
                  roughness 0.005
                  }
      }
The colors used in the image create the gay flag (also called rainbow flag)
The shapes are the male and female symbols.
The trick is the lighting. There is no light in the scene. Radiosity was
used for that matter.

The meaning of the 4th row is that those symbols are the ones of the gays
and lesbians. Their texture is a mirror one.
Also the tittle is a play on words. In Spanish, pride is called "orgullo",
so the word "or-gay-o" is a mixture between "orgullo" and "gay" (pride and
gay).
