I thought this was real but turns out its fake. OP didn't make it up he copied it from someone else who made it up and didn't realize it was fake. . https://files.catbox.moe/zp2lsh.jpg
Nope, your version with the Swedish flag is the fake.
The fact that the pride flag showed more than the Swedish flag (face of the soldier) made me dig deeper. Also, the lettering over the Swedish flag looks off.
I found several Swedish articles showing the pride flag and other pride crap from the Swedish armed forces. Their armed forces also had a pride webpage that is now 404 but archives show multiple archives in the past years.
While the image (sadly, tragically) didn't turn out to be fake, it's a good thing that you - and Lurker - looked into it. Then again, you probably did because it's literally unbelievable.
is this an actual ad or you made it up?

OP was not fake and gay.
The Swedish Military is known for their ads in English
The language is the least Albionite thing about this ad.

It seems to be real. They apparently made ads like this regularly for "pride" celebrations.
