Should people be allowed to burn the gay pride flag?

[Crixus]

Yep, burn either one.

Roast marshmallows if ya wanna.

I don't like it, but I'll defend it.
.

It will make the mallows fast bad. Worse.

You may be breaking laws against destruction of other peoples property.

Only if it's attached to their house!

I doubt that.
I have a flag flying on my property. It would be against the law for someone to trespass on my property and ignite the flag on my flagpole.

 

[deannalw]

Not to mention hazardous to their well being

It would also constitute arson.

I don't see why not? I mean, if people can burn the American Flag, then any other flag should be fair game. Some would say that burning the gay flag is hate speech. If that is so, then isn't burning the American flag also hate speech? You can't have it both ways.

If they purchased it...it's theirs to do with as they want.....right?

People should be allowed to burn any flag they want to burn

As long as it's theirs and they didn't steal it.

You're so SMART!!!!! *swoon*

 

[JakeStarkey]

Why not burn the flag?

 

[Marion Morrison]

I'd try to make sure it was linen. Polyester burning, blech!

Very true.

"Should people be allowed to burn the gay pride flag?"

Loaded question fallacy.

No one advocates making it ‘illegal’ to do so.

Conservatives are at least consistent at demonstrating how stupid they are.

I don't think the OP got the reaction he hoped for.

Why? It bothers me that we think we are doing GOOD doing something negative, burning flags, or kneeling at sports events, rioting, protesting looting...instead of being peaceable and trying to use positive persuasion and logic and being rational. Seems the liberal thing to me.

 

[BlindBoo]

If you own it, sure why not?

Projection from a Leftwing Nut Job.

I don't give a shit about the fag flag.

An American flag should only be burned at a VFW or American Legion Post in a flag burning ceremony, normally held by the Boy Scouts of America when the flag is tattered, torn or unserviceable.

We may have freedom of speech or freedom of "expression" but to me and many others, burning an American flag is one of the most heinous and despicable acts to dishonor Americans, along with kneeling NFL players. I have never witnessed a "freedom of expression" flag burning or ass wiping but if I did I would provoke the SOB into a fight and attempt to cripple or kill his (or her) sorry ass.

During a 4 day period in Nov 1965 I participated in a battle with 1000 other Americans and we lost a total of 234 men killed and 245 wounded.Whenever we go to the Viet Nam Wall now to mourn our dead I always apologize to them for the actions of the "freedom of expression" MFers. Plus, of the 1000 I mentioned, only about 75 of them are alive today. Agent Orange got us all.

I am sorry if I offended anyone here but I am just exercising my freedom of expression.

For anyone interested, you can read about the battle I described.

Battle of Ia Drang - Wikipedia

Well that's why we have a Bill of Rights and not a Bill of Obligations.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

But would it still be permissible if it was wrapped around a homo?

I thought about that but there's too much garbage lying around.

That's not in the Bill of Rights. It's all in the heads of the walking dead in SCOTUS and we're gonna change that shit.
