Commentators denounced the Greater the Amman Municipality for choosing colors similar to the ones used by the LGBTQ+ group, saying Jordan is a conservative nation and should never normalize such leanings.
Some highlighted that LGBTQ+ is being normalized by multiple western communities. However, Jordan and Middle Eastern countries should never follow their steps.
A group of people said we should be very careful to differentiate between the number of colors that exist in the Pride flag (six colors) from the ones in the natural rainbow or peace flag (seven colors).
