The city of Long Beach, California, is working to rebuild a symbol of LGBTQ inclusion after it was destroyed in a fire that officials believe was an act of hate.
The Long Beach Fire Department says the city's Pride lifeguard tower was "fully engulfed" in flames early Tuesday morning. The tower has been a "symbol of our strong support for the diversity within our ranks & community" since it was painted during Pride month in 2020 by the Marine Safety Division, the LBFD says.More Related News
