plantfanaticIsn’t it actually against the law/constitution to wear the flag as clothes?
No. It’s against flag code, but there is no real law or enforcement of the flag code. If you do break it, I will immediately assume you are not a patriot and instead you are a nationalist because you didn’t take the ~5 minutes to look up the flag code.
SeductiveTortoiseI will only assume you have no taste, because it’s just a flag and I don’t care. But that looks horrible.
seathruI don’t think patriotism and flag code are necessarily linked.
Flag burning isn’t against the flag code. Flexing your 1st amendment is definitely patriotic.
Huh, TIL. I guess throwing it on the ground was against flag code but not the actual burning.
The burning after it touches the ground is actually what you’re supposed to do according to the flag code.

The flag itself, but not clothes designed to look like the flag.
IOW: if you’re caught in a sitcom type situation where you lock yourself outside of your house and the only thing you have available to cover your fetus production apparatus is the stars and stripes you fly on your front porch because you’re a jingoistic weirdo, you’re going to be breaking the law one way or the other.
Conversely, the above fashion crime is as legal as brandishing military equipment while shopping in some of the more backwards parts of the country.
Flag code is advisory and != law. If you’re naked and wrap them bits in the flag, no laws are broken.
