Carrollton couple's gay pride flag torn from home, set ablaze in their mailbox

When a Carrollton couple woke up Thursday and discovered that their rainbow pride flag had been set on fire, they knew they'd been targeted.

"It was absolute hate, and they meant to do it," Markus Maguire told KXAS-TV (NBC5).

Maguire and his husband, Wilson Nash, have lived on Longwood Drive, near Parker Road and Plano Parkway, for about two years.

destroying mail (presumably stolen from other people's boxes) is a serious federal offense. Get the postal inspectors on this -- they don't fool around.
