And... I don't really see what is wrong in, say, being proud of the specific province you are from, or even what city you are from, for that matter.
There's nothing wrong with being proud of a specific province/city/community, but any differences in human society can be used for reactionary division. Flags can be used for other purposes than as a symbol of national sovereignty, but a flag is also probably the most identifiable symbol of independence or separatist movements precisely because it can be seen as a symbol of national sovereignty. I think the political significance of flags outweigh any other aspects, if any.
At the end of the day, there's nothing inherently wrong with having regional flags, but I oppose it.
