Orange County neighborhood rallies after resident's Pride flag slashed by vandals [View all]

KTLA
Residents in Anaheim are rallying behind a gay couple after vandals ripped down a Pride flag from their home and slashed it into pieces over the weekend.

Jake Nolan and his partner, Jon, have lived in their Anaheim home for the last seven years and said they installed the flag as a celebration of Pride Month.

We were like, ‘Did that really just happen? Did someone slash the flag and pull it down?” Nolan told KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff.


Neighbors on the street responded in droves and now one house after another is flying the Pride flag in solidarity.

“It makes you feel good to know that where we planted our roots is a community that looks out for us and we can all look out for each other,” Nolan said.

This happened in Anaheim! Straight neighbors in Magaland! I got tears.
