PostNord, a European postal service jointly owned by the governments of
Sweden and Denmark, recently announced a new commemorative rainbow stamp – the
first of its kind – that it will issue on May 4.
According to the press release, the
stamp, which was designed by Stockholm-based artist Lisa Rydell and depicts the
Pride Flag, is “a reflection of modern Sweden, where the importance of
diversity is self-evident.”
“By issuing a stamp with the Pride
Flag, we want to emphasise the equal value of all people and the strength
represented by people’s unique qualities and differences,” said Per Ljungberg,
head of communications at PostNord Sweden. “To the best of our knowledge, this
is the first time the Pride Flag has been reproduced on a stamp – which makes
it particularly gratifying that people will now be able to send affectionate
greetings with the Pride Flag stamp to all corners of the world.”
