Primary school pupils are being taught about 300 different LGBT pride flags in a bid to "be more inclusive".
Leaflets distributed by a local charity provide children across Swindon and Wiltshire with information on each of the 300 flags and the gender identities behind them.
The documents, provided by Swindon and Wiltshire Pride, claim there are more flags representing sexuality and gender identity than there are for countries.
"While some might think [300] is too many, it's all part of a drive to be more inclusive of the expansive breadth of identity within the community," the charity's materials said.
According to the organisation, the educational resources form part of a free annual support guide.
Three double-page spreads go into detail about what the charity describes as a "small selection" of 29 varieties of pride flags.
These include the rainbow LGBT Pride flag alongside various offshoots such as the "intersex-inclusive Pride flag" and the "polyamory Pride flag".
Leaflets also feature a black and white "heterosexual flag" for straight people, which according to the materials, can include transgender people.

Each flag's description covers the identity it represents, the meaning of its colours and when it was created, if the information is known.
The materials drew the ire of parents whose children attend the primary schools after they were posted by the local council on social media.
Parents said their concerns about the content had been ignored by the local Labour council.
