http://renaseveados.weblog.com.pt/arquivo/206616.html a London "Bobby" is
parading; he sports a white flag with a logo on it, apparently a "police star"
filled with the Gay Pride rainbow. Is it the flag of the Lesbian and Gay Police
officers?

The flag bears the logo of the Gay Police Association (GPA). See these
further photographs on their web site:
http://www.gay.police.uk/index.html and
http://www.gay.police.uk/pride.html of the Manchester Pride in 2004, where a
similar flag appears to be being carried in procession, together with the banner
of the GPA, further back. See also the logo of the GPA at the head of each page
of the web site. This flag follows the traditional design of police flags in the
United Kingdom.

The flag has a fringe is on three sides, not the hoist. Additionally, there
are tassels.

There is also a Gay Police Association in Scotland (GPAS), which has its own
logo, featuring the rainbow device within a stylised thistle and surmounted by
the Scottish Crown although they do not appear
to have their own distinctive flag, using the aforementioned flag and banner
bearing the logo of the GPA.
