About the flag

The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) flag or logo can be seen at http://www.hrcusa.org/. The flag is more often seen as a sticker. The two lines are an "=" sign, suggesting equality of the races. I believe it goes back to CORE, the Congress of Racial Equality, back in the 60s. The ones I have seen, yellow lines on a blue field, have all been horizontal, in accordance with the equality sign.

This photo of a gay pride march in Dallas, and quite a few others in the slideshow, shows a very large version of the logo as a flag to be carried horizontally (it has handles attached to the sides)… while further on in the same slideshow, is an actual HRC flag, attached to a pole, being waved by a marcher:

This photo shows the flag clearly as an oblong version of the (square) logo, quite vexillologically correct. Jugding from this photo, specs vary; the image above is 5:8 = (1+1+1+1+1):(2+3+2).
