BACK TO YOU. AND ARTIST COMES TO A WOMAN’S RESCUE AFTER A THIEF STEALS HER PRIDE FLAG. IT’S ONE OF SEVERAL RECENT CASES WE’VE TOLD YOU ABOUT IN NORTHWEST OMAHA THIS ONE IN THE SUNNYSLOPE NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR 108TH AND FORT. KETV. NEWSWATCH SEVEN’S ABBIE PETERSEN HAS THE UPDATE. YOU’LL SEE ONLY ON THIS IS WHERE THAT SYMBOL OF LOVE AND EQUALITY ONCE WAS. THE HOMEOWNER TOLD ME INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE FLAG, SHE DECIDED TO ADD SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER AND MORE PERMANENT. AN ARTIST AND HER ART. BUT CONCRETE ISN’T HER TYPICAL CANVAS. HAVE YOU EVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN A DRIVEWAY? I HAVE NOT. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME. SO THIS WILL BE EXCITING. THIS WORK OF ART USES ALL OF THE COLORS IN THE RAINBOW. AND FOR LOCAL ARTISTS. JASMINE, LILLIAN, THIS MASTERPIECE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN A STROKE OF PAINT. TO ME, IT’S JUST YOU KNOW, BEING PROUD ABOUT WHO YOU ARE AND BEING ABLE TO BE WHO YOU ARE AND EXPRESS YOURSELF AND, YOU KNOW, ANY FACETS OF THAT THAT COME UP. LILLIAN IS A MEMBER OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY HERSELF. SHE’S ACTUALLY GETTING MARRIED TO HER PARTNER ON WEDNESDAY AND WAS COMMISSIONED TO PAINT A PRIDE FLAG IN THIS DRIVEWAY. MY HONEST OPINION IS I THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD MIND THEIR BUSINESS HONESTLY. SO SO, YOU KNOW, IF WE ALL JUST KIND OF FOCUS ON OURSELVES AND BEING OURSELVES, I THINK THE WORLD MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER. THE HOMEOWNER IS TINA STEWART. SHE HAD HER PRIDE FLAG HONORING A FAMILY MEMBER STOLEN TWICE. YES. SO NOW HE CAN PULL UP. HE’LL SEE IT. HE’S EXCITED FOR IT. AND THEN HE’LL HE KNOWS THAT WE’RE SUPPORTING HIM NO MATTER WHAT STATE SAYS THEY’RE PUTTING UP CAMERAS AND HANGING A PRIDE FLAG FROM A TREE WITH CHAINS. IN ADDITION TO THIS, I HOPE THAT PEOPLE SEE IT AND UNDERSTAND, FIRST OF ALL, THE COMMITMENT THAT IT TAKES TO MAKE THAT KIND OF PERMANENT CHANGE. BOTH WOMEN HOPE PEOPLE SEE IT’S MORE THAN JUST A PAINTING. HOPEFULLY IT STICKS AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THINK IT WILL, STEWART TELLS ME. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, SHE’S NOT GOING TO GIVE UP. AND SHE’S ALSO NOT GOING TO GIVE UP HER PRIDE. FLAGS AB
