How are the people trying to protect themselves part of the problem? Republicans will often have relatives or friends that are hateful towards minorities (more than half my family). If you could minimize your chance of experiencing less violence or murder, wouldn't you? We're not being apocalyptic, we're being extremely serious. I personally had a close friend murdered for being a feminine gay man and have been told similar stories by friends. The American flag is not a flag of inclusion and represents different things to different people. To you it represents all of us... but it has historically not represented all of us for most of America's existence. It's disheartening that many died to fight for our social freedoms utilizing rainbow flags to represent peace and solidarity and you're saying it's an act of defiance. I personally fly both at my home.
