You can read more about it here:

RCMP are asking the public for help identifying a man who ripped down a trans flag hanging outside the Kelowna Art Gallery this spring.

“RCMP are asking the public for help identifying a man who ripped down a trans flag hanging outside the Kelowna Art Gallery this spring.
Video surveillance shows a man on May 31 at about 8:45 p.m., accompanied by a woman carrying a white pizza box, walk directly to the front of the art gallery where trans and rainbow flags were displayed for the start of Pride month.”

He also tried to pull down the Pride flag but couldn’t jump high enough to get it.

Since being posted, the article has been updated to state the RCMP reported that the guy had come forward.

Personally, I think the guy should still be named and shamed for this. There’ll be plenty of people out there who know who he is.

However, even if his name isn’t released by the RCMP, there’ll always be this description to accompany those pics:

“The suspect is described as Caucasian, 45-50 years old with a medium build, balding with some black and grey hair, pink pattern t-shirt, light coloured shorts and brown slip-on shoes.”

Imagine. You’re an adult who now has images of yourself splashed all over the internet, jumping up to tear down flags (in broad daylight, not to mention!) because your bigoted-ass feelings are hurt.

What a real fucking winner.

We should create a hashtag for these newly emboldened homophobic/transphobic man-babies.
