A number of flags created as the combinations of national flag and gay rainbow flag have been used in Taiwan since at least 2010. They replace the plain red field with six rainbow stripes. On one of them, blue stripe is in the same shade as the canton. It was used at the Taiwan Pride in Taipei, on 2010-10-30: https://www.flickr.com/photos/rock-yang/5128350927
