    I’m gonna start bringing a portable clothes iron around to get out the creases from activist flags, it’s not a huge deal but it just always irks me a little. Their image would be even more impressive with a nice creaseless flag.

      The cheap, thin nylon is incredibly easy to melt. I buy a new, thick Pride flag every June for my house as the old one is tattered and faded by then. Usually run it through the steam dryer 2-3 times and then hang it out on a nice hot day, and the wrinkles relax. An iron is easy to overdo it with as I learned with a cheap Trans Pride flag one year.
