Sept. 23, 2019, 10:44 PM UTCZach Gingrich-Gaylord hoisted a rainbow pride flag outside his family’s Wichita, Kansas, home two months ago, so he, his wife and their 11-year-old daughter could show their support for the LGBTQ community. On Saturday morning, the family found their flag “just melted down into a plastic mess,” and authorities are now investigating the incident as a hate crime.
Zach and Micala Gingrich-Gaylord woke up on Sept. 21, 2019 to find that his family's gay pride flag had been burned to a nub on the porch of their home.Gingrich-Gaylord said he and his family were the first on their street to fly a pride flag, and he thinks that’s why their house was targeted. Saturday’s flag burning — which police say happened between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m while the family was sleeping — was not the first act of vandalism against the Gingrich-Gaylord’s pride symbol. A few weeks ago, the family’s flag was stolen, but a neighbor found and returned it. They bought replacement flags in anticipation of never seeing it again, but when their flag reappeared, they gave away the additional flags to neighbors, who began to display them on their homes, Gingrich-Gaylord told KSNW-TV.
