Why would you think that a crowd that agreed that burning the U.S. flag is free speech that is protected by the Constitution would reach a different conclusion about a pride flag?

Simple. Certain audiences don’t really believe in or understand the very concept of free speech.

It’s a very simple hypothetical - either speech that’s uncomfortable is acceptable or it is not. I guess it’s not surprising that

1) Even discussing the topic makes folks here uncomfortable (proving the underlying hypothesis under the hypothetical to be true)

2) immediately posters here attack the message/messenger rather than engage on an intellectual level.
