In reality, the liberal crowd would have the same reaction as a conservative crowd would have if you burned the flags in the reverse order - acceptance of burning a Pride Flag as a legitimate expression of free speech, and outrage (perhaps to the point of "stomping") at the burning of the American flag.

You keep making this analogy.

I think most people on this board know I’m a progressive. Personally, I think burning any flag (American, Pride, etc.)* is stupid. My reaction would be to shake my head and walk away. Hell, I don’t want to breathe burning flag fumes, even though as an American you have the right to.

* Actually, it might put smile on my face to see a burning Nazi flag (not to mention a burning Nazi 😁), but I’d still walk away.
