 Murcia Region (Spain)
The flag of Murcia Region is a banner-of-arms of the arms granted in the early 80's (different from those of Murcia province and city), and the red/crimson colour is probably derived from that of the Cartagena 1873 pendón (banner/flag) which itself is based on the traditional crimson background of Castilian flags.
The red was Cartagena shade of crimson, because it is the traditional color of the old kingdom of Murcia (though I have seen sometimes this flag with a dark purple field) and as a concession to the separatist area of Cartagena.
Murcia didn't have a regional flag before General Franco's death (1975), but after that a plain white-red flag was used (with a shade of red called Cartagena which supposedly is a blend of the red in the Turkish flag and human blood), but rarely by the people.

Spanish Autonomous Communities of Murcia and Cantabria are the only two that still exclude homosexual and bisexual people from the possibility to donate blood, exclusively because of their sexual preferences.
But the Autonomous Communities of Murcia and Cantabria make a distinction between straight people--who are only forbidden to donate blood if they engage in unsafe practices--and homosexuals and bisexuals, who are categorically forbidden to become donors, regardless of their practices.
