Another flag was proposed by Fandom user TanukiStar on August 6 of 2021 [https://lgbta.wikia.org/f/p/4400000000000179957 <nowiki>[3]</nowiki>] The colors are based on the colors of the wings of Eurasian magpies, who coincidentally can also be called "maricas" in Spanish. The green at the center is a very particular tone of green, called "carnation green", which is related to the historical gay community. |
