A majority in the Dutch House of Representatives voted on Thursday evening to fly the rainbow flag at the parliamentary building this Sunday in observance of Coming Out Day. The vote followed a motion introduced after an initial proposal to display the flag was withdrawn due to objections from the SGP party.
The decision ensures the flag will be raised despite the earlier political resistance. The move marks a formal parliamentary commitment to the event, overriding the previous internal opposition that had temporarily halted the initiative.
