The only nuance I see here is the question "who owns the property being destroyed?"

Yep. If you grab either of the Fag Flag or the Stars and Stripes from its owner and burn it, both should be property crimes.
If you buy your own Transtastic or USA flags with your own money, free speech says it can be burned.

Except for that public littering thing.
