Vandal again targets Pride flags at B.C. church
Early Wednesday morning , someone threw black paint on the front entrance of Ladner United Church as well as the window of the minister’s office — both locations where Pride and Progress Pride flags are on display.
“Defacing or damaging these flags is illegal, disrespectful and deeply hurtful to the 2SLGBTQI+ community,” the release states. To show solidarity and allyship, a group of residents rallied on the Highway 17 overpass in Ladner Wednesday, waving flags and carrying signs with messages of support. “The [City of Delta] and I will always stand in support of the 2SLGBTQ+ community and against these acts of hate. Deltans, no matter whom they love, should feel welcome, safe, and valued in our city.”
Since then, the church has displayed the flag from behind its window to discourage further acts of vandalism.
