Use default theme for an LGBTQ palette

Source: R/themes.R
theme_lgbtq.Rd

Provides a default theme for a given palette. Most LGBTQ flags contain white, for which the default light gray background of ggplot2 is too light. Conversely, this same gray is too dark for flags with yellow stripes. LGBTQ themes are carefully curated for each palette.
