Residents 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 KTLA’s 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.

This happened in Anaheim! Straight neighbors in Magaland! I got tears.

1. So because of their hate, criminals

Trespassed and vandalized personal property.

They really worry about others living their lives.

2. But love and kindness overcame hate.

6. True, and I should focus on the positive.

Just wish this wasn’t necessary.

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

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.
