Ramos, who represents District 14, said the pole was forcibly broken.

“It was definitely not the wind,” she said.

Ramos said this was not an isolated event. She reported hearing of at least three other instances in the neighborhood where pride flags were also intentionally torn down.

In 2022, a pride flag was set on fire outside a home in the same area.
