A historical moment took place today when the UK government hoisted the rainbow flag symbolizing LGBT pride over one of its ministries for the first time in London. According to Raw Story, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg requested the flag be flown on Whitehall, the central London street that houses several ministries, in honor of the London World Pride parade celebrating LGBT rights this Saturday.
“There has to be a first time for everything. Flying this iconic flag in the heart of Whitehall is a small but important emblem that the government and this country are behind equal rights,” said Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrat party, which is also a junior partner in a coalition led by the centre-right Conservatives.
The striped rainbow flag was raised over the Cabinet Office, the ministry that is responsible for coordinating central government. ”I’m absolutely delighted that, with a little bit of persuasion and determination, we’ve been able to fly the rainbow flag for this weekend’s festivities. I hope this is the start of a new era of pride across the historic Whitehall village,” Clegg said according to The Telegraph.
Since 2004, homosexual couples in Britain have been able to obtain civil partnerships, giving them similar legal rights to heterosexual married couples. Ministers have pledged to legalize gay marriage in England and Wales by 2015 despite opposition from some Conservatives and religious figures. Clegg has gone further by saying religious venues such as churches should be able to host gay weddings.
They are beyond toast.

Enjoying anal sex with another man...by golly, if there’s one thing in the world to be proud of, that’s it!
The Brits think Monarchy is cute... like a pet giverment...
Mobs have always controlled England... and all of URP..
Strange people those...
The world has gone mad when we start flying flags on national levels that represent sexual choices. Why should they even want to fly a different flag that sets them apart from all others. Welcome to the world of perversity and totally screwed up priorities.
They use the rainbow to insult God.
Genesis 9
13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
And they proclaim it symbolizes EQUALITY and UNITY.
Except it excludes the breeders. Downright heterophobic if you ask me.

ABSOLUTELY! Welcome to the SENILITY of the West.
being proud of turd poking, these people seriously need to seek mental help, sicko’s and to be proud of their unusual unhealthy unnatural acts says it all about them and those who support such actions/
“Except it excludes the breeders. Downright heterophobic if you ask me.”
Uh, yeah. Did they think no one would notice? If you really think about this rainbow banner being flown by nation states, it is almost like an announcement of EXTINCTION.
I’m amazed that the Brits did this given that it is highly offensive to their pet muslim population.
nail on head and to add on , these people used to say it was their private business in the bedroom but now are saying they are proud of the way they get off sexualy and then say they should fly a flag to show their crap no pun intended
Important symbolism you are pointing out: Unnoticed by many, but what you say surely is the truth.
No, there doesn't.
GOD SAID, Romans 1:22.....Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
The Fag Flag is fit only to be fouled with raw sewage.
