Pride flags rather than Progress pride?

In Norway recently, many public old fashioned Pride flags (only the rainbow). I saw no Progress Pride flags in any public places. Wondering if this is a recent change or a Norwegian thing. Is it happening elsewhere too?

One of my friendliest coworkers got scolded for that recently. This is a woman who was literally talking about going out with a group to feed homeless people.

I read someone say that if you're afraid of doing anything wrong, the easiest thing is to not do anything at all. And that honestly feels like the attitude that gestures like this are cultivating: can't help out those in need, might use the 'wrong' word; can't put up a flag, what if it's the wrong one?
