NEWS.- About a week ago, on the website "I'm dancing.com" was published a fun and clarifying article that with the title "Guide LGBT flags so that your city does not make a fool of you", explains the origin of the rainbow flag, the reason for its colors and how it should be hung so as not to be confused with other flags.
The point is, more often than not, the flag that represents us is confused with the Italian flag of peace, which has seven colors, purple, blue, turquoise, green, yellow, orange and red and which was popularized in Italy in the 2002 as part of the protest "Peace from every balcony"Which was generated against the war in Iraq.
The colors of the first LGBT flag were 8, but due to the production of certain tones, it was reduced to 6, eliminating the pink and turquoise from the original. All this information can be extended by clicking on the title of the article mentioned.
The question is that If we look at the flag that hangs on the facade of the Madrid City Council, we do not know what it is. While it is true that it has 6 stripes, look and you will see that they do not correspond with the LGTB, lack purple and turquoise, in fact it looks more like a flag of Italian peace to which the purple band would have been trimmed . On the other hand and that you will understand after reading the article of "I am dancing", is not well hung, since the protocol indicates that if it is horizontal the red color should remain up but if it hangs vertically the red should go to the left.
In short, we leave the reflection because the truth is that the last minute changes in many consistories and the rush to show support to the LGTBI collective have generated more than one misunderstanding. Draw your own conclusions. Y Happy MADO!
