I will avoid saying why I’m planning on doing it now only because it will color people’s interpretation of why I’m doing it.

Hopefully my Iran flag will come in time, but it will the a 3’ by 5’ flag and it will tough be 10’ in the air and I will be with other protestors.

I have waves the Palestine flag in multiple previous protests and I get the sense that people don’t recognize it like the LGBT flag

    Flags are symbolic—they exist to communicate, and the only criterion to judge their appropriateness is whether they communicate the intended message to the intended audience.

    Without knowing your intended message, it’s impossible to say whether or not you should use one in a given context.

      I know. Kinda want to figure out what someone waving an Iranian flag at a protest would mean to an American.

      If I gave my reason then it would add to meaning of waving Iranian flag
