Burning a flag is just directed at a flag*.





*I apologize to anyone who identifies as a flag and might be offended by this comment

Can I burn a Pride flag or BLM flag, and reasonably expect no one will be hurt by it?

After all, it's just a flag.

Or maybe some BLM members will get offended, because the flag represents BLM?  Or maybe some LGTBQ people will get offended because it represents LGBTQ?

So if they're allowed to be offended if their representive flag is burned, why is not reasonable to expect some Americans get offended when the American flag is burned?
