This is the latest act of vandalism involving pride flags. Park volunteers said flags are often pulled off the railing by partygoers late at night.
Pride flags were broken and ripped off the railing at the Stonewall National Monument over the weekend. Park volunteers said flags are often pulled off the railing by partygoers late at night. But when volunteer Steven Menendez woke Sunday morning and found 68 flags damaged-- including 33 broken in one section– he was concerned. Police were called to the scene, but there was little they can do other than check if neighboring shops have cameras.
"We'll always have that reminder that there are those who don't support LGBTQ rights," said one parkgoer. "It’s upsetting and sad and concerning that we have to at one of the sights where our rights were born and continue to grow." "I feel like as a transgender, this is too much in your face," said another resident. "As an American, I want American flags, this isn't LGBT country."
