Parents were left furious after discovering that their primary-aged children are being taught about the 300 different flags of pride at school.
Leaflets handed out by the charity Swindon and Wiltshire Pride claim there are more flags representing sexuality and gender identity than there are for countries.
The extensive list includes an 'intersex-inclusive Pride flag', a 'polyamory Pride flag, and even a black and white 'heterosexual flag' for straight people, which it says can include transgender people.
The information, displayed by the local council on social media, goes into detail about a 'small selection' of 29 varieties.
It says: 'While some might think [300] is too many, it's all part of a drive to be more inclusive of the expansive breadth of identity within the community'.
