In my experience people who would own that sticker are generally the people who would shoot you for messing with their sticker.

Worth it
Same kind of energy as cyclists who ignore cars "because they have the right of way".
I'm dead, but I was technically correct!
Genius.

Careful. Don't wanna upset those fragile snowflakes that carry guns and love authoritarianism.
Cops?
No, the one sucking the cops farts
It's actually so sad that the country has armed dangerous paranoid psychopaths. Everyone not pro-gun has to thread carefully to avoid being executed by some asshole in a truck.
Not everyone who owns a gun and knows how to use it is necessarily pro-gun. Some people have them because they are reacting to living in a gun ridden country. We can't get rid of them at the moment, so it's not a bad idea to learn how to protect yourself in the meantime.
That being said, even gun owners have to tread carefully around certain types of people.

Don't worry, liberals have guns too now. Gotta keep the playing field level until we get some proper gun control.
Bad idea to do this.
Not because LGBTQ rights shouldn't be respected, but because you're very likely to piss off a right-winger with a gun.
The important thing is that we cater to their bigotry because they might get violent. We should always do what violent people want at all times because they might get violent. We should never speak up or do anything that opposes them, because society must cater to terrorists.
Sure, stand up against bigotry, but know the risks and use caution. If you think that vandalizing a sticker, though humorous, is worth the risk, then by all means do so.
I'm not sure why you wanna give shit to the person who points out the risk though. Maybe you should direct more of that anger towards the terrorists and not the person saying to be careful of taunting terrorists for minimal gains?
Ultimately it is the individual's decision what they want to stand up to. It's not "catering to bigotry" to choose to avoid a single battle. That's akin to putting the onus on marginalized groups to educate hegemonic groups when they demonstrate ignorance. It's a powerful thing when it happens, but it is completely within one's right to just keep to themselves and go home peacefully for the night.

Yeah not sure what the intended outcome of this even is. Are they supposed to see that and think, "oh wow, maybe it is better to support this group I hate, I'm convinced!"? It's more likely to just get the next gay couple they see attacked with absolutely no benefit, other than some internet points for the person who made the video. Though most likely it will just confirm their bias that the people they hate are here and just want to fuck with them, so their desire to get rid of them feels more justified.
I think the point is to piss the person who put up that sticker off. I don't think it's any deeper than that.
Should buy a quick sticker strips and can get the colors on the flags quicker.
Thin rainbow lines :D
I've been listening to Punk Rock Factory the last days and your title is one of my favourites. If not for that, I wouldn't have gotten that ref. And nice paint job on that flag 🏳️🌈
