"More than half said that the bands provided a sexual profile of the wearer, and three in five admitted that they had used the bands to identify the sexual preference or availability of the wearer."
"Among the indicators which the teenagers revealed could be drawn from the wearing of the bands were that pink and blue bands were for heterosexual females and males respectively, while red shows that the wearer is sexually available, purple or turquoise shows homosexuality and black says that they are recently separated."
"Mixing two colours is also said to reveal things about the profile of the wearer, according to those surveyed."
"Pink and blue bands on the same wrist show bisexuality, while purple and white would suggest that the wearer is gay and sexually attached."

It sounds like a very dumb notion to me - how would you work out whether someone was wearing them to support a cause or to indicate their sexuality..?
For a comprehensive breakdown of what the colours signify you are in to, Google the following words: jelly; bracelet; sexual. I figure if I post URLs or paste a full list in this answer, it would probably get deleted.
