Similar flags have been used in France during the
protests against the same-sex marriage legalization.

These flags were indeed designed and widely used by the movement "La Manif
Pour Tous", established in 2012 as a collective of associations and registered
in 2015 as a political party. The flags are still in use.

In early 2024, Russian courts issued the first known extremism convictions
arising from a Supreme Court ruling on 30 November 2023 that designated the
"international LGBT movement" as extremist. The Supreme Court ruling became
public only in mid-January 2024. The Supreme Court ruling also declared the
rainbow flag a forbidden symbol of the "LGBT movement." Displaying the flag is
the basis for administrative penalties in at least three cases that courts have
tried in recent weeks. In late January 2024, a court in Nizhny Novgorod
sentenced a woman to five days detention for wearing rainbow-colored earrings
after an individual accosted her and her friend in a cafe. Also in late January,
a judge in Volgograd region handed down a fine over a rainbow flag published on
a social media page. In early February 2024 a court in Saratov fined a woman for
posting a rainbow flag on social media.
