Can you elaborate? What else does it do? I'm queer, and while I don't like seeing the rainbow flag being burnt, it doesn't compare with receiving a beating.

it is a precursor to beating. Attack the symbols first and if it is socially accepted you can escalate to violence against the people. The Nazis didnt start by gassing the jews. they started with making it okay fo be hostile to them in public, denouncing them in every way and slowly ramping up the violence. Same story for any discrimination of minorities escalated into violence and murder.
