But Love-Menendez said he's never seen damage at this level, though.
"This is the heart and soul of the LGBTQ movement. And this flag display is meant to show hope for the future and honor those who fought for our rights before us," he said. On Monday, the NYPD released images of alleged suspects in the case. The group of men was seen in the area after the flags had been vandalized around 3 a.m. Saturday. They were last seen heading east on Waverly Place.

It hurts, it hurts badly," said NYC Councilmember Erik Bottcher, who added that the community will not be intimidated."We are not going to be afraid. We are not going to be cowed. We are not going to let them do this to us during Pride month. And they will be held accountable for it.
While there were still some pieces of broken flags on the ground on Monday, each damaged flag had already been replaced with a new one.Serendipity3 is bringing back a partnership with the Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative, and patrons can take part by digging in on some colorful cuisine.
