Five times over the past three months, vandals have been tearing down and stealing Pride flags that hang outside the church. Surveillance cameras caught the culprit in a few of the incidents.
CHICAGO --"I usually come to church on Sundays, and today was especially important, just to show everybody that we're still here, and we still stand for what we stand for," said church member Caroline Magnesen.
Five times over the past three months, Glombicki said, vandals have been tearing down and stealing their Pride flags that hang outside the church. The church has been publicly supporting people of all sexual orientations and gender identities since 2006."You wish that you could just have a conversation with somebody and get to understand them better, where they are coming from, so that they could understand us as well and what our message is all about love. So, it's definitely discouraging," Magnesen said.
