October 2014The Brazilian gay flag is derived from the national flag of Brazil by
replacing its green field with six rainbow colors, violet at the top. Its photo,
taken in Brasilia on 2013-06-05, can be found at
http://www.trust.org/item/20130605220903-3810e.
As can be seen, the
yellow stripe is in same shade as the lozenge, which effectively conjoins them
into a single charge, although the lozenge is not precisely centered on this
particular flag, probably because it was hand-made and/or in a hurry to finish
before the use time.
A very similar design has appeared at the
GayJourney.COM website
http://gayjourney.com/flags/gay_flags_national.htm and is marked as having
been designed by the site’s author, Greg Gomes. The main difference is the order
of rainbow stripes, red being at the top. Most of colors are also in different
shades there. The use of such flags in real life has not been verified so far.
