Jonathan Gillman says he first had the idea for the Pride flag to be put on display after his daughter came out to the family.

“It’s to show my daughter to be who she is and she doesn’t have to be embarrassed,” Gillman told Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson .

Now he says it’s been torn down for the third time in a year, and he hopes videos of the people in the act will keep strangers off his property.

“They know what they’re doing,” he said. “They know what it represents and they’re doing it maliciously.”

Video from last Tuesday night at around 11 p.m. shows two people ripping the flag off Gillman’s holiday skeleton display.

In May, another video showed someone running into the yard and stealing the flag.
