What they shouldn't bear is slogans (Join the Scouts, Act Now, etc). It's a War Memorial, not an advertising hoarding!
No. you are missing the point that overtly political flags like the gay pride flag, are inappropriate for a wreath at the Cenotaph.

All those people you mention, sexual orientation-wise, are remembered by the various Service wreaths. No need to bring posturing political flags and slogans into it.

BVRAAM. Haven’t you been warned already about wading into subjects you clearly know nothing about?
