Some communities would act on your #2. Others will understand the equivalencies of the acts.

They're not equivalent. The message is entirely different. The medium by which that message is conveyed is the same, but the message is different.

Again, using a less politically loaded example, burning a Red Sox flag in front of a bunch of Yankees fans will get a different reaction than burning a Yankees flag in front of them. They are not equivalent. They are completely different messages.

Some localities, though, don't agree that messing with the pride flag is protected speech.

Really? Could you provide a link to a "locality" that has tried to differentiate between burning a pride flag and burning an American flag? Where the latter would be allowed but the former prohibited?
