  The removal request was political. That is the same as if someone were to tear down the flag of a nation from a plaza. Sure, it was “just fabric”, but it carries political weight, and denying that is an exercise in fallacy.

      Flags exist as symbols. That is the entire purpose of a flag. Therefore, removing a symbol is a symbolic removal of the thing it stands for. The Pride Flag symbolizes LGBTQIA+ rights. Therefore, it’s removal symbolizes removal of those rights.
