Via Pink News http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2016/06/21/rainbow-flag-flies-from-houses-of-parliament-for-first-time-ever/

Today the flag was raised above the Houses of Parliament for the first time – with the Speakers of the Commons and Lords both giving special permission to mark the weekend of London’s Pride festival. LGBT group ParliOUT had gifted a 12 foot rainbow flag for the occasion, with the flag set to fly until June 26.

David Geary, Head of Political Engagement for Pride in London, said: “It was in the Houses of Parliament that homosexuality was decriminalised, equal consent laws were introduced, the bigoted Section 28 was repealed, where civil partnership and ultimately equal marriage were adopted. This powerful institution, right at the heart of British democracy has become a powerful tool for equality in recent times.”

It'd take at least 2 years to negotiate, so get going!
