Flags are a pain in the ass.
My grandfather had a pole in his front yard. Every bloody day it was acceptable, the US and US naval flag were up. Made him happy, having been career navy, but the amount of work involved in maintaining the pole can fuck right off for me, even if I gave a damn about flags.
And that's not including maintaining the flags, nor the extra bullshit about how you handle the flags when they're governmental.
Most I'm willing to deal with is a rainbow sticker, or one of the various related flags in sticker form so folks know they aren't alone, that they have people that care about them and their rights. Even that, I'm not dealing with an actual flag for.
