Yes, it's the Italian peace flag, or pace flag. It differs from the gay pride flag in several ways. First, it says "PACE" on it, "peace" in Italian, pronounced pah-chay. Second, it has an extra shade of blue the pride flag lacks. Third, the colors are inverted compared to the pride flag with the red at the bottom as opposed to the top. Fourth, and possibly not quite finally, the PACE flag was first produced in 1961, whereas the pride flag was first produced in 1978.

Lots of differences, but will a group of people who think women and members of the LGBTQ communities are second class citizens worthy only of breath if they shut up and/or stay in the closet their entire lives even care? Doubtful.

For some reason, I kind of suspect this photo was made to look old rather than that it actually is from the 40s. I’m probably wrong, just something about it seems off for some reason, even the black and white version.

Still hot, I’m here for it whether old or new, just saying.
