Subscribe to our Newsletter today Lindsey Bailey hung a Pride flag earlier this month and said a man rode by her house while she was outside a little after dark, yelling expletives and saying how much he hated Pride month. Her husband came outside with a baseball bat when he heard the commotion, and the scooter-rider circled back to yell at him, too.Those neighbors were just two of many showing support for the first victims of the Pride flag-obsessed vandal.Sheryl Colaur said at least 10, and possibly as many as 15, of her neighbors in Longmonts Harvest Junction Village neighborhood have had their Pride flags stolen, allegedly by the same man.We have some seasonality with the flags that we put up, Colaur told the Times-Call of the neighborhoods decorating habits. So, during September and beyond, its always Packers season. In June, its Pride.Colaur said when her first flag went missing around Memorial Day, she was sure the wind had taken it down.But the pole was pulled straight down, she said. And I was like, Oh, thats not the wind. Someone had obviously taken the flag and torn it straight down.Two weeks later, she was at home with her girlfriend, and the same thing happened, only this time she heard the vandal ripping the flag down.We kind of looked at each other, she said. I was thinking, were those gunshots?A Pride flag hanging on the porch at Mike MacFerrins house, one of Colaurs neighbors a block over, was another target of the masked man around the same time. The porch light was on, MacFerrin said, and his children were home at the time.Every other flag, team flag, and American flags had all been left, he toldCBS News. The neighbors decided to fight back.MacFerrin launched a GoFundMe, asking for help replacing the stolen Pride flags for himself, Colaur, and others around the neighborhood. He raised enough money to buy about 70 new banners, which other neighbors, as well, have started hanging in defiance of the masked vandal.People did not like their neighbors being buIlied, MacFerrin said. They wanted to stand up for them. They wanted to stand with them. Its important to be strong as well, and the more of our neighbors that stand up strong to this, the stronger we are together. Since then, though, despite Ring cameras and a fence around her flagpole, the vandal managed to steal Colaurs Pride flag for a third time.Cameras did catch the thief on video, however. He arrived by electric unicycle, stepped onto Colaurs front porch, tore down the flag over her bannister, grabbed another, and fled from the scene. Similar video from another vandalized neighbor confirmed the thiefs unusual conveyance.It almost makes this laughable, that hes riding a unicycle around to tear down Pride flags, Colaur said. I dont know where hes coming from, or why he has so much vitriol for the LGBTQ community, but he obviously has some bigoted views if he thinks that by stealing Pride flags, we might be a little less gay.Police are seeking help from anyone with information about the masked unicyclist. Contact them at 303-651-8501.Every time he steals a flag, said Colaur, Im going to keep on putting a new flag up.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
