The rainbow flag is a symbol of gay pride. But Wednesday morning the new flag was found burned to a tattered mess during the night and that is no coincidence. When in late July a rainbow flag on the lawn of the Unitarian Universalist Church was burned, police called it vandalism because no note was left. It reflects an ugly intolerance that diminishes us all.
And as a hate crime, it is not just about one church or one flag.
