What flag to fly? (www.etsy.com)

So, I bought a house that just happens to have a flagpole. It was put in by the neighbor's grandfather back when he owned the property like 60 years ago. I recently dug it up and painted it, replaced the hardware, etc. I've been flying the US flag to keep same Republican neighbor happy, but after this weekend's events, that's not happening any more.

So, I've been pondering what flag to fly instead. It doesn't appear that my town has a flag, though my county and state do. I considered the United Federation of Planets flag, but it looks too much like the UN flag and I don't need to hear John Birch from that same neighbor. Ditto the Earth flag.

Maybe the Jolly Roger? Anybody else have a fun flag they think I should fly instead?

Rainbow, obviously. Or better yet, the rainbow above and "don't tread on me" below.

If not the UFP, maybe the Klingon Empire?

Or:

  • A state flag, from a different state. New Mexico has the best one. Or if you live in New Mexico, Minnesota’s new one is pretty good.
  • Any of the Our Flag Means Death flags. Or all of them.
  • The flag of Antarctica
  • A US Pride flag
  • A red flag, or maybe a beige one
  • New California Republic
  • Debian swirl flag
  • Church of the Subgenius

Could always fly the Verda Stelo as long as you're ok with the possibility of someone trying to speak to you in esperanto because of it
