Reply to comment by ursus_americanus_ in Pride flag pitch invader brings World Cup game to a standstill by Society-Practical

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.

As a Italian, hearing this would hurt my ears.

It's pronounced paah-che

I think we are probably pronouncing it similarly, our phonetics could be at odds, mine obviously incorrect in this case. Thank you for the clarification.

so what does it stand for? Peace, I presume. But that can mean many things.
