That’s because that up through the 1950s at least pink was essentially “red junior” and had not picked up any real gender specific limitation yet, much less become heavily associated with homosexuality among conservatives.

IIRC, Homer Hickam in _Rocket Boys_ talks about wearing a pink shirt to a high school dance.

Needless to say, fashion and symbols change over time, like the Good Old Boys who spent all week complaining about bearded long-hairs and then went to church on Sunday to kneel before an image of a bearded, long-haired Savior or prophet…
