Not hanging your beliefs out your window for the world to see is a matter of aesthetics for me, not of freedom of speech.

Because for the people that are flying the flags they aren't doing it to let everyone know where they are, they are flying them so that people that see them know that the person that put the flag up is proud of their flag and the country, organization, group, etc. that it represents.
I agree that is about aesthetics, unfortunately it is right on the blurry line of free speech as well.
