Last week, while driving past a city-owned planter on the corner of 18th and H Streets in Arcata, Councilmember Emily Goldstein noticed the latest in a string of anti-LGBTQ acts in our community: Someone had cut down and removed a tree that had been decorated with hand-crafted Pride ornaments.
The ornaments — made out of popsicle sticks and painted to resemble pride flags — along with a banner reading “love, joy, peace,” were hung on the ornamental cherry tree on June 25, during a gathering held in response to the burning of a pride flag that had hung in the same planter as the tree.
