Probably absolutely protected, indeed. It's just that it's scary anytime a majority starts burning stuff that belongs to a minority.

They STOLE the flag. If they'd made their own "gay flag" and burned it, they might have a chance, but not when they've confessed to destruction of stolen property. Put a fork in them, they're done.

Not sure if its the free speech at issue, how about taking something that doesn't belong to you? Now if they were to buy one of those f@g flags and burn it, no problem.
