Just days later, on Wednesday (26 June) the police were called out once again to the same location where two other Pride flags had suffered criminal damage and been vandalised with paint.
We're still fighting for equality and experiencing homophobia, as evidenced by the continuing vandalism of our flags.
But the message that we want to give is they can paint over our flags, they can intimidate us, but they can't paint over our pride.
Since we've had the flags on the pavement people have felt that Forest Gate was really welcoming to the queer community, and even the estate agents have said people move here because of that.
