But each are a crime, and are punishable.
There isn't any sort of, yeah you murdered him but we'll let it slide, in the law.
(Don't mistake what I said to mean a judge has never let a person off for murder)

How is it a universal value if it had not existed before? And what do you mean by tap in?
What it boils down to is simply the following:
Without a common enemy to unite against, Western nations will devolve into war and carnage.
If that's your take away from what I said, the issue isn't even differance of opinion. You can complain about SJW calling racist on Twitter as authoritarian or stifling your free speech. But, the people who express their freedom of speech are those burning the flag. The fact that you can burn the flag and government will not do a thing about it, is an example of what separates US from places like USSR. You denigrating the freedom to burn the flag, while complaining about being called homophobic or racist, is a perfect example of how being spoiled is clouding your judgment.
Because there is this entity that has a lot of political power, where any regulation is argued as taking your right away. Where letting a person on the FBI watch list get a gun, is no different than letting them own a car or a knife or a toaster.And why the hell would somebody on the FBI watch list be allowed to have any firearm? Even -I- am confused about that.
Yes, and getting it for illegal sources, gives government a chance to actually intercept the sale versus it just being legal. On top of that, buying the gun illegally, without any sort of leverage, is a risk for those buying. After all, that gun you are buying illegally, can be used to just take your money. So, yes, if criminals have to go through extra hoops, they risk getting caught while adventuring in those avenues, as well as risking their own well being by dealing with those who have no issues doing things illegally.However, even if they were not allowed to have any firearm, they would still get it anyway. Hence my problem with gun control laws.

Free speech isn't nearly as universally understood as people want it to be.
Does it mean freedom of government censorship? does it mean freedom of personal censorship? What about consequences of speech? I don't know why we're entertaining this notion that these "universal values" are actually universal.
You don't find it a bit disrespectful when somebody burns the flag? Because when I see people who burn the US flag, I kind of want them shipped off to some hellhole of a country so they can see what a -real- terrible nation is. Might make them more humble and appreciative of the United States. They are the spoiled ones. It's amazing how we have men and women who put their lives on the line for that sort of trash.
I'm saying that it is a universal value for all high level intelligence, which is ultimately governed by math and physics, which predates humans. It is only after we evolved that we could tap into universal concepts that other animals have never shown awareness of.
I think you are referring to at-will employment, which is its own can of worms. It doesn't specifically target sexuality, it is across the board.

No, but I would ask them what flag does represent them and why don't they move there. To me they just look like idiots who stay in a place they don't like.
It affects freedom of speech too. If saying something harmless as your sexual orientation gets you fired and legally discriminated against, then it's not much of free speech is it.
Do you apply this idea to people who fly nazi or confederate flag too? As in, disgracing the official flag?
As far as I understand it, free speech only means you cannot be arrested for what you say. Though a known limitation to that is the threat of fatal harm, aka death threats.
It does not mean a business cannot fire you for what you say. As a matter of fact, many businesses can fire you for no reason at all if they require you to sign such a contract. There are anti-discrimination laws that say a person cannot be fire because of their religion and such. But that is why some businesses make you sign a contract that says you don't have to be given a reason.
