You can and you should. But if we want to promote bigger acceptance shoving the gay flag down people's throat is not the best way to do it, it will just create feelings of annoyance and more hatred.
You have the right to be an idiot, and people have the right to call you an idiot.

If I did the same with a burger box saying 'Say no to gay marriage, traditional family FTW' I am exercising my right the same way Burger King is.
I honestly don't see how saying "I support gay rights" by way of a rainbow wrapper is "Shoving it down peoples' throats". Would you have said the same thing in the 60s if Burger King had a pro-African American civil rights wrapper?
