A thief was caught on camera in broad daylight stealing pride flags from The First Christian Church in Katy.
“There’s definitely some tensions in the community it’s being expressed, and people want their feelings to be heard that they are not necessarily happy with what we are doing, who we are or who we present,” Reverend Heather Tolleson said.Its Pride month and The First Christian Church Off Morton Ranch Road near Katy is all about supporting the LGBTQ+ community.
“We always have a little extra color out on the street. We always fly a pride flag, there is always going to be a rainbow flag out front,” she said. Reverend Heather Tolleson said 16 pride flags have been stolen in the past 10 days and at least 40 in the past 10 months. “Yesterday’s event happened at 10:41 in the morning. I came in to work for a meeting and when I came back the flags were gone,” she said.
Security video shows a black Chevrolet Silverado pulling into the parking lot. A man dressed in black gets out the truck, walks over to the flags and cuts them down. He gets back in his truck holding several flags before driving off.“Oh 100%, I believe the church is being targeted but more specifically it’s the LGBTQ community that is being targeted.
