Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ‘Tradition is important to us’: Swedish town rebels against LGBT rainbow flag on city hall A municipality in Sweden decided to quit flying LGBT pride flags on public buildings, after conservative parties took over the city council. The town of Solvesborg in southeastern Sweden has voted to stop hoisting the rainbow-colored flag on the city hall every August during Stockholm Pride, the annual LGBT-themed festival held in the nation’s capital. From now on, only local and national flags are allowed on public buildings. The idea of flying the Pride colors was introduced in 2013, when the city council was led by the center-left Social Democrats. But now the city is controlled by conservative Swedish Democrats (SD) and three other right-leaning parties, who decided to revise the local flag code. [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] It's a start. |
