Locals paint rainbow fence at German Village bar that had Pride flags stolen ...Middle East

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- It’s the start of Pride month, which means there will be many events all over central Ohio celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.

Many businesses and homes will start hanging up their rainbow decorations, but for the past two years, a local bar said its decorations have been stolen.

The owner of Rumours, Jackie Sansavera, said instead of responding with frustration, they’re coming back with even more color.

“We were able to come up with something really great for the community to see as they drive by and something that can't be taken away,” Sansavera said.

Last year, NBC4 reported on the theft of Pride decorations throughout Merion Village and German Village, including at Rumours. Residents came together this year to help paint a rainbow mural on the fence at the bar to begin Pride month.

“We will never consider not having pride decorations," Sansavera said. "That's what we are. It's what we do. It's who we are. I think the whole point of people trying to steal that from you is so that you don't put it up, and we'll just make it louder and brighter and prettier and a little bit more fun every time."

Ohio residents are among America’s biggest gamblers, according to recent study

The idea to paint the fence was born after employees at Condado Tacos found out about the theft. They said it was the perfect way to put leftover paint to use.

“We wanted something that was going to be bright and bold and representative of the welcoming friendliness that Rumours provides to the area,” Condado Tacos Art Director Alyssa Martin said.

The fence is now a permanent and even brighter version of last year's.

“Pride is such an ongoing and ever-growing movement and we just want to be able to participate in whatever way we can and support in whatever way we can,” Condado Tacos Project Manager for Loca Restaurant Marketing and Art Olivia Dempsey said.
