No, I mean any rainbow flag. If you go buy one yourself, then take it

Since when do I have to convince the government of the reasons for my
speech to keep from being jailed for it?
"Congress shall make no law..."
...who might ask, e.g., whether the defendant *knew* how the act would

My right to free speech isn't dependent on how someone else-- with an
agenda of their own-- might perceive my words.
Are you disputing laws against hate speech or how they're enforced?
Both. Hate speech is protected speech per the Supreme Court and any laws
to the contrary are unconstitutional.
