The beginning of November marks an important date for many which is Remembrance Sunday.
Throughout November you will see many people wearing red poppies, often pinned to their jackets, as a sign of respect to those who were lost in the war.
The symbol honours those who died serving their country and who worked for the military.
Traditionally, the flower has always been worn in red, although some people choose to wear a white or purple poppy.
However, The Mirror recently reported on the creation of rainbow poppies, which has sparked a lot of outrage across social media.
A woman named Cassie shared her anger across Twitter and her comments have gained a lot of traction.
Her tweet reads: "Why am I seeing rainbow poppies being made, not to be rude but there is a whole month dedicated to the LGBT community, can the heroes who fought for our country have the ONE day to be remembered without it being about sexuality. It's going too far now."
So far, her tweet has gained almost 12,000 retweets and 53,000 likes.
Others expressed their concerns that the Royal British Legion (RBL) will not be able to raise money for ex-serviceman from the sale of these colourful poppies.
"I think I'm right in saying, the only colour poppy sold by the RBL is red.
"All monies raised by selling of these red poppies go towards ex-servicemenn.
"If it's not a red poppy, it doesn't stand for anything and money raised does not go to RBL charity."
What twitter is saying
People on both sides of the debate are expressing their own views across the social media platform.
One user tweeted: "The standard poppy says it ALL.
"There is no need for any other!
"People are attempting to introduce the 'rainbow poppy' for Remembrance Day."
Others seem completely taken aback that a multicoloured poppy has caused so much offence to people.
For some people, the rainbow poppy is a reminder that some individuals who served in the armed forces, were themselves LGBT+.
One tweet reads: "There are many different variations of the Poppy to show respect to those who lost their lives for our freedom in war.
"By the reactions on social media, clearly LGBT lives aren't worth that same respect #RainbowPoppy
"But it's ok. We can get married."
Another user highlighted the importance of understanding the history behind LGBT+ soldiers.
The tweet reads: "I want a #rainbowpoppy, gay servicemen and women were dishonourably discharged or even killed, even though their sacrifice was the same.
"Alan Turing is a key example.
"There has been a purple poppy out for years now... so get the hell over it."
Another user tweeted. "The #rainbowpoppy is NOT the lgbt+ community trying to take away from heroes...
"It's raising awareness for the horrific treatment of gay soldiers who suffered anything from unfair dismissal to execution.
"There are several different poppies already."
Some people have also questioned why there is respect for the purple poppy, a symbol of remembrance which was created in the early 00's to show respect to the animals that served during the war.
