Saratoga Pride flag ripped down; group orders taller flagpoles
MILTON, N.Y. — When those who are prejudiced against a Pride symbol go low, supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community go high — or in this case, technically higher. That’s been the strategy of the Saratoga Pride group, which has installed a temporary taller flagpole to protect their rainbow pennant, which they said has been torn down. The group, which is displaying the flag on private property on Rowland Street, said on two occasions the flagpole was bent, the flag ripped and left on the ground. So now Saratoga Pride has ordered three taller poles — two 20-foot poles and one 25-foot pole — to replace the temporary one there now, in hopes that no one will disturb the three flags that are planned: an American flag, a peace flag and a Pride flag. But Cindy Swadba of Saratoga Pride remains concerned.
