Other then LGBTQ+ not being a monolith? You can find any crazy opinion online. Difference is, one group is large enough to push to have the ten commandants hung in public school classrooms and the other is a fringe of a minority.
LGBTQ+ has their flags brought into educational institutions all across the U.S.
So? Not equivalent. There are deodorant ads also hung in the gyms of many schools. Do you feel threatened by the periodic table of elements or the multiplication table?
Pride flags are just to make lgbt kids feel welcome. If a cis student feels threaten by a pride flag, they have other issues.
Where's the cis flag to make cis kids feel welcomed?
Cis kids aren't getting bullied and killing themselves for being cis.
They're being bullied for other reasons, but that's a different discussion.
You're trolling, right?
I mean.. There's like seven of them and two designs are used by groups that are known to be used by bigots during marches to politically protest a number of LGBTQIA+ civil rights issues.
But here you go, the cis flag colors to fly.

Yeah.. these aren't flags. Some random users designing chit on the internet. There isn't a cisgender flag. Why? Because the rest of the world doesn't care to represent their sexuality through colors, designs and decorations on a flag smh.
They are actually flags which have been flown at events. If you don't believe me look up images of "straight pride" you will find pics of people holding and draped in them. At Pride events however you generally don't see those but the straight ally flag which celebrates people outside the LGBTQIA+ but who show support because Pride is an LGBTQIA+ style independence day.

Generally speaking though because cisness is usually assumed until proven otherwise cis people don't generally see a need to run up a flag so it doesn't see as much use. Because allyship is more an invisible thing you will see the ally flag on buttons and things.
