The rainbow pride flag at the center of a fatal Lake Arrowhead shooting was one sign of an increasingly visible LGBTQ+ community in the San Bernardino mountains.
The organization’s events have also attracted families like Cheryl Kol’s.
“We’re just happy to celebrate the uniqueness and the individuality of people. Hopefully people see that we’re not a threat while supporting this community.”“We’re just happy to celebrate the uniqueness and the individuality of people,” Kol said. “Hopefully people see that we’re not a threat while supporting this community.”“I still honestly can’t believe that the gays have made it up to Arrowhead,” Christie wrote in response to a video of the main stage.
Christie is now a Navy sonar technician and lives in Hillcrest, the heart of San Diego’s LGBTQ+ community. Other businesses and homes have had their pride flags tampered with. Clevenger said people have called the local lake association with unfounded complaints about the boat parade.
