The idea was obviously an idiotic one. Just flying a flag to identify any one sub group inside the much larger group is idiocy in and of itself. It would be similar to flying a Puerto Rican flag (or insert sub group here) by itself and the idea that your sexual identity should be flown at all is ridiculous. The flag of the United States and the service flags that represent those men and women displays all the meaning in the world to a veteran. That person needs to be reprimanded and counseled for not understanding the reason and background for displaying the service flags and the sacrifice those within those branches put out to provide service to the country.
