Rejected petition Change the NHS pride symbol/flag to something original and different from LGBT+

Get the Government to get a new flag, badge, symbol or icon for NHS Pride and stop the LGBT Pride flag being used. (rainbow flag) It is insensitive to LGBT people and insincere to NHS staff who can’t get something original that has some meaning behind it.

More details

The LGBT community has fought and died for gay rights and should not have something so symbolic taken away from them. Not only is the reuse of the famous LGBT pride flag disrespectful to LGBT people but some could find it disrespectful to the NHS staff who didn’t get something that had true meaning or background. The LGBT community has by far already suffered enough- why make it worse? Get a new logo of flag for the NHS, something original, unique and has actual meaning behind it. Thank you.
