Submission History: Motion by Councillor Dan Hutchison:- "Council agrees that its current flag protocol does not adequately reflect the progressive and internationally minded city of the modern day. Council agrees that adopting flags such as the Transgender Flag and the Red Flag signifies support for both Glasgow's Transgender community and Workers, in a similar vein as the current protocol does with International Women's Day and IDHBT. Council also agrees that Glasgow is an international city, with a rich history of migration, and with a vibrant twin city scheme, as such: Council resolves to add the following dates to the City Chambers Flag Flying Protocol: 1st Monday in May - Mayday - Red Flag 25th April - Liberation Day - Italian Flag 14th July - Bastille Day - French Flag 14th August - Independence Day - Pakistani Flag 23rd August - Independence Day - Ukrainian Flag 3rd October - Reunification Day - German Flag 10th October - Cuban Independence Day - Cuban Flag 20th November - Trans Remembrance Day - Transgender Flag 29th November - International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People - Palestine Flag Council also agrees that a flag should be flown to celebrate Lunar New Year and our twinning with Dalian, however, due to specific political sensitivities regarding the Chinese states treatment of the Uyghurs, as well as the on-going occupation of Tibet, the Council will undertake consultation to determine the best way to celebrate Lunar New Year while extending our solidarity with the aforementioned groups. Council also resolves to remove the following dates from the City Chambers Flag Flying Protocol: 9th January - Birthday of HRH The Princess of Wales - Union 20th January - Countess of Wessex - Union 10th March - Birthday of HRH Earl of Wessex - Union 2nd Monday of March - Commonwealth Day - Commonwealth 21st June - Birthday of HRH Prince of Wales - Union 17th July - Birthday of HM The Queen Consort - Union 15th August - Birthday of HRH Princess Anne - Union 14th November - Birthday of HM The King - Union https://glasgow.gov.uk/article/22005/City-Chambers-Flag-Flying-Protocol " Help Icon
