I will avoid saying why I'm planning on doing it now only because it will color people's interpretation of why I'm doing it.

Hopefully my Iran flag will come in time, but it will the a 3' by 5' flag and it will tough be 10' in the air and I will be with other protestors.

I have waves the Palestine flag in multiple previous protests and I get the sense that people don't recognize it like the LGBT flag

Flying the Stars and Stripes upside down is a distress call. And at least in my neck of the woods, authorities will respond to it; on occasion the students at high schools tasked with hoisting the flag in the morning will sometimes attach it upside down, and police or fire show up to ask what's wrong.
