If you ask me, he's being a little too touchy.
I'm no fan of the UN, but that not a homo display.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was left unimpressed by the bright color pallet used in the design of the UN General Assembly’s meeting hall, suggesting that it looked too similar to the LGBTQ rainbow pride flag.
“One of the issues that bothers me the most ... is that when entering the United Nations General Assembly, you see the LGBT colors on steps and other places,” Erdogan told journalists at the Turkish House in New York on Friday, as quoted by the newspaper Duvar.
“How many LGBT [people] are there in the world right now? However, much right they have on these steps, those against LGBT have as much right as well,” the Turkish leader said. He added that he would like to speak to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres about the presence of the colors, noting that “this is a humanitarian issue and we need to know that there are people who are disturbed by this.”
Erdogan was apparently referring to the 17 different colors symbolizing UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are used as decorations on the walls and steps of the General Assembly hall. Erdogan, who was re-elected for a third term in May, frequently attacked the LGBTQ community during campaign speeches, while presenting himself as a staunch defender of traditional family values.
Same-sex relations are not illegal in Türkiye, though in recent years the authorities have been effectively cracking down on LGBTQ symbols and themes. Shutting down of LGBTQ organizations was a part of Erdogan’s election campaign platform.
In advertising/graphic design, using too many colors use to be called an “Angry Fruit Salad”. It is not a compliment.
Millions and million and millions of us.

I see homo in it.
Indeed.
I hope it’s billions!
In the early 1980s, with Reagan as President and Jeanne (an anti-Communist firebrand) as UN Ambassador, a funny thing happened. Jeanne was out for whatever reason and Charles Lichenstein, her deputy, was serving in her place.
The Soviet Union, sensing an opportunity to embarrass the West, went on the attack and said that they may just want to move the UN out of NY City.
Lichenstein, who no one ever heard of before that day, offered to help them pack and supported moving the UN to Moscow, so the entire world could see what happens under Communism. Needless to say, the Soviets then treated him with some respect.
The reason I bring it up is that, now, the UN is located in a Third World city, NYC, and moving it to Moscow would be night-and-day, as the world would then see what a well-run city looks like. Beyond that, the Third World would not have to deal with the ABJECT DECANDENTS that the Neocons (Ukraine War supporters) are trying to impose on them.
I take it “Pride Month” isn’t a thing in Türkiye.
You are both right.
Those are crayons.
Those colored stripes represent the UN sustainable goals being imposed onto all the nations by 2030. I wouldn’t be surprised tf the globohomo rainbow stripes are related for the purpose of imprinting into our minds.
Or anywhere else in the Middle East for that matter.
LOL - hilarious!
They’ve done away with editors!
WADR, “Eye of the beholder.” Looks pretty damn queer to my eyes.
