    I love how both the old and "new" flags of Milwaukee both pack in a lot of meaning, it's just that the newer proposal actually does it so much better.
    (Also, congrats on the sponsorship!)

    The French flag with the red stripe reminds me of when the flag is printed in a continuous line and the machine doesn't cut it right. So a bit of the right side is at the left.

      You are wrong about the lgbt in soviet union.
      "In 1934 the Soviet government recriminalised homosexuality in the Soviet Union."
      "Whatever the precise reason, homosexuality remained a serious criminal offense until it was repealed in 1993.[76]"
      from wikipedia, LGBT rights under communism

    • @finnanhanney8538

    • @mlgmaster6053
      @mlgmaster6053 5 лет назад

      Finnan Hanney As i said, source is The Wikipedia.
      And, i said nothing about the current day situation in Russia. I am just letting you know, that you are spewimg lies. If homosexuality was criminalised in 1934, then we have about 56 years till ~1990.
      I hope that you now understand, that i am pointing out that you said homosexuality waslegal for fhemost of USSR's existance, But it WAS NOT

    Flag news for East Lothian, Scotland!
    In late 2017, the East Lothian Council announced a contest to design a civic flag for the county, as we did not have one prior. Voting opened at the start of this month and 4 designs were chosen as finalists. My personal fav is design D, but these choices are pretty poor in my opinion.
    Here's the council's tweet that links to the contest: twitter.com/ELCouncil/status/1025295330353602560
