It's perfectly legal to fly flags of states, cities, corporations, or organizations as long as they're flown beneath the US flag. Not sure why that shouldn't count for the pride flag, too. There's nothing forbidding it. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/7

"When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag’s right."

It also says it should never be used as apparel or drapery. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K99UTKD7L.AC_UY550.jpg

Do you go around complaining every time someone slaps a flag on the back of a pair of jeans or do you only complain when it shows up next to one with rainbows on it?

no. I'm not comparing the American flag to the Pride flag. There is no comparison. BECAUSE of the AMERICAN FLAG, you have the right to fly the Pride Flag. Its an individual choice to to slap it on the back of your jeans... but to put a flag on state property, it should go to a vote. basic civics.
