63 | 7/22/2019 | About two weeks ago, Chris Ritton-Stokes, who shares a home with his husband and little girl, became the target of hate when someone drove by and yelled a homophobic slur at him. Ritton-Stokes wrote about the incident on Facebook. What happened next surprised, shocked, and touched him. His neighbors banded together and started flying Pride flags on their homes. Then, more and more people on other streets did, too. Let's add even more love to his family's life. | https://www.wtnh.com/news/connecticut/new-haven/naugatuck-stands-up-against-hate?fbclid=IwAR1Z1-iOm75BnpG2u5KK02KPPBm7lefUVO85rO54_2SR3rmT47Hfe_dUd4s | Mr. Chris Ritton-Stokes and Family 219 Hillside Ave. Naugatuck, CT 06770 | |
