I've read over 400 comments. Not a single one isn't in support of her.

I hate that everyone in these comments are saying things like “she’s a real woman, ” or “anti-lgbtqs👇” and even “i respect that woman.”

Well let me tell you something: you may not like it, but you’re completely in the wrong here. Most people here are straight, and I will assume believe in God. As a Christian, God says to love everyone. He didn’t mean just a select group of people; he meant *everyone.* And that’s what we should do.

For people who are being homophobic in the comments, grow up.

That man isnt a clown, he is the entire circus

Omfg this homophobia in the comments is disgusting.

[AltansarnaiBatbayar]

property damage, arson, endangerment.. Some people in these comments think it's okay because they'd rather harm people for being who they are than ignore it.

I think NBC’s plan backfired. 😂
Everyone is agreeing with the woman.

[astralboy]

Just an fyi,


Arson is illegal and this could have ended horrible. Thank god no one was hurt.

[bingus_thee_dingus]

Guys she litteraly did arson who cares if it's an lgbt flag the crime is still the same 😭🙏

[SubwayCuber]

If it was a USA flag, no one would investigate. Hypocrites.

[Tom-ikiw]

As a straight person these comments are kinda disturbing even for me
