“Dear PoPville,
I live half a block from the Parade route. What is happening to Pride?
Every year my wife and I put Pride flags in front of every house that’s on our block. The neighbors like it and it’s become a part of the celebration.
This year passers by seem much more inclined to remove flags and/or simply throw them in the gutter. What is going on?”

“There’s a guy ripping down pride flags off the street lights on P street in Dupont by the bridge to Georgetown. He pulled me off the light post as I wrapped myself around it. Reported to police but they haven’t showed up. And the guy left.”
