PLANO, Texas \u2014 Police are investigating after a Pride flag at a North Texas church was allegedly “torn down.”<\/p>\n
West Plano Presbyterian Church in Plano said a Pride flag outside the church was “torn down, destroying the flag pole as well as the flag” sometime between Nov. 16 and Nov. 18 in a post on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“The incident was reported to Plano Police…Apparently there was a similar case recently,” the church said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The church says it’s not the first time it’s been vandalized.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This is not the first time WPPC has been vandalized due to our speaking out.
