UEFA block of Allianz Arena’s rainbow colours illumination met with Euro-wide criticism
June 22 – The mayor of Munich has described as “shameful” a ruling by UEFA to ban his city’s plans to illuminate the Allianz Arena in rainbow colours in support of LGBTQ+ rights for tonight’s Germany-Hungary Euro 2020 clash.
Munich city council and activists had requested the move in protest at legislation passed by Hungary’s hardline government banning gay people from featuring in school education or TV shows for under-18s.
UEFA argued the rainbow lights would contravene its rules about political and religious neutrality.
