The Supreme Court considers that the rainbow flag that represents the LGTBI community is not a partisan symbol, which is why it endorses its placement in public buildings as it does not violate the law that regulates the use of banners and flags in Public Administrations. The Fourth Section of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the high court has thus resolved this Monday the appeal filed by the Association of Christian Lawyers for the placement, on Pride Day 2020, of the rainbow flag in an interior courtyard of the Provincial Council of Valladolid and another on the main balcony of the Zaragoza City Hall.
“The Supreme Court does not see any impediment to the display of the rainbow flag on the occasion of the celebration of June 28, because it was not placed to replace or subordinate it to the official flags and banners, and it does not advocate any type of confrontation. On the contrary, it is projected in favor of equality between people, a value recognized by the Constitution and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,” the ruling states. This decision marks jurisprudence in the face of possible future complaints of this type.
