Residents in one Anaheim neighborhood are doubling down on displaying their pride after someone slashed the Pride flag of a same sex couple.
After someone took down and slashed a Pride flag from a same sex couple, neighbors banded together to show more support.
When Jake Nolan and his partner Jon Barrett found their Pride flag torn down and ripped Saturday morning, they weren’t sure what to make of it, then they checked their home cameras.It was about 2 a.m. when two people passing by walked up to Nolan and Barrett’s Anaheim home. Within seconds, someone pulled down, apparently slashed the flag, yelled something hard to understand and walked away.
Nolan said the couple have lived in the home for six years, but this was their first time flying any type of flag.“I said I’m buying 10 flags I have them in the front. I’m putting them in a basket. Anyone that’s interested or who wants one, it’s here. Just come grab it," Elia Renteria, the couple's neighbor, said.After Renteria and her husband placed the basket of flags outside their home, they say they only have three flags left to give out.
