Massachusetts church vandalized after LGBTQ Pride flags removed: 'Stay Gay'

A church in Massachusetts was vandalized with pro-LGBTQ graffiti last week after church members removed Pride flags that were placed on the property by an openly gay couple renting its facility to run a preschool.

Pleasant Street Preschool, which had been renting space at Grace Community Church in Marblehead, is run by Mike Richmond and his partner Ryan Thompson, who placed Pride flags on the property to celebrate Pride month, according to local Marblehead Current.

Richmond posted a video to Instagram last Wednesday of the church member taking down the flags, who explained she was doing so "because it’s a church that does not celebrate — you can have your time, but we don’t want to celebrate it if we don’t have to."

"We’re also a church that believes in the Bible," the woman added. "We have the freedom to do both things."

Okay, I know not all homosexuals are pedophiles, but would still be a little wary of this.

When we were in Boston in April, I couldn't get over how many churches had the rainbow flags and other pro-gay decor proudly waving. One church had rainbow-hued Adirondack chairs all lined up on the front lawn. What a fashion statement.
