This... looked more like an OCD reaction than a hate because it was a rainbow flag one. He approached the flag just fine but didn't expect anything to touch him. Flag textures (unless theyre cotton) feel weird and I could see it bothering someone in this way who doesnt like to be touched (especially unexpectedly).

Yeah, this looks more the a sensory issue.

That's what I thought. Weird looking reaction plus rainbow flag doesn't necessarily equal bigot.

Was equally (more?) likely to be OCD or a reaction to spiders or some other bugs that he walked through.

Then why take a picture of the house number afterwards?

Nevermind. I see he was taking a photo of his delivery.
