I am equally enraged and distraught about the murder of Lauri Carleton last Friday so I felt it was important to honor her by sharing this Trailer Talk episode again with Jay Blotcher about the history of the Pride Flag. Lauri was shot to death by an LGBTQ-hating extremist. One of her friends, Tim Bagley shared this on social media: "Lauri Carleton, was shot and killed for having a rainbow flag outside her store in Lake Arrowhead, California. In the past when her Pride flag was removed or vandalized, she’d just put up another one. This time she confronted him and she was shot multiple times and killed. All the hateful rhetoric against the LGBTQ community has a price. Lauri was an amazing person and a constant LGBTQ ally. My love goes out to Lauri’s wonderful husband, Bort, and their children, and all of Lauri’s friends. This loss is heartbreaking. Thank you to all the allies who support the LGBTQ community. Keep fighting hate and fear with your love. May you rest in peace Lauri." Yes. Thank you Lauri.
