Pride flag returned to Colorado Springs City Hall after repairs: ‘It’s back!’
The 25-foot Pride flag honoring the victims of last week’s Club Q mass shooting in Colorado Springs was returned to City Hall on Saturday after being temporarily removed for repairs.
“It’s back!” said city spokeswoman Vanessa Zink in a message to The Gazette.
The massive banner was torn by high winds on Wednesday before the city took it down to prevent further damage. Debi Kemper of Kemper Dance Academy performed the needed repairs, Zink said.
The flag is on loan from the Sacred Cloth Project and has commemorated other significant national events in the LGBTQ+ community, including the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage and the 2016 mass shooting that killed 49 people and wounded over 50 more at the Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, Fla.
