What are you talking about?

The entire hypothetical, which is quite clear.

But the message being conveyed is completely different.

No, it isn’t. And here’s where the justification for the inevitable bad reaction to burning the one comes in.

According to the logic you’re hinting at, one can burn the US flag as a protected piece of free speech. But one *can’t* torch a pride flag because it’s an emotional symbol for millions. Is that what you’re wanting to say?
