Title made it sound like you’re allowed to burn every pride flag in sight. So yeah, I thought that was always allowed. You could set fire to your own belongings, what’s new?

Burning flags you don’t own is definitely arson. In this case a slam dunk hate crime conviction as well.

I agree. It’s really not that different from say spray painting KKK on a black church. It wasn’t the act it was the intention and the goal.
