Translation/meaning of the "Al Qaws" name itself

[edit]

At a glance, the English version of the organization's About Us page doesn't appear to specify what their name means or why it was chosen, but Wiktionary translates "قَوْس" as "bow". I *assume* it's a fairly safe bet that this refers to the rainbow symbolism used by many LGBTQ+ communities, but could someone with more knowledge of Arabic connotations confirm this before it gets added to the main article? (I'm also slightly curious whether there are any additional layers of meaning the word might convey in context.) --Dhraakellian (talk) 23:58, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
