Pride flag to fly at Edinburgh City Chambers for entire month after councillor calls for change

A rainbow flag will be flown on top of Edinburgh City Chambers for the entire month of June from next year in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, following a councillor's bid to have protocol changed.

The striped coloured flag was in the past displayed just once during June, which is Pride month.

It is also to be replaced with a 'Progress Flag', which incorporates black, brown, pink, pale blue and white stripes into the design to represent marginalised people of colour, as well as the trans community, and those living with HIV/AIDS.
