It could represent a fight against coercion of any ilk.

The Gadsden flag does represent resistance against coercion. That being said, context is still quite important — its appropriate use would heavily depend on why those individuals in the picture saw fit to march with it. The Gadsden flag represents individual liberty, and resistance to authoritative oppression. It doesn't represent the trampling of the freedoms of others.
