Related: About this forumOrange County neighborhood rallies after resident's Pride flag slashed by vandals
KTLAResidents 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 KTLAs 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.

OP
I think MAGAts are miserable & they can't stand the thought that others are happy.

Trespassed and vandalized personal property.
They really worry about others living their lives.

Especially if they think others are happier than they are.
A gay couple living happily really pisses them off when they're incels who can't get a date.
