At least one arsonist set two gay-pride flags on fire in front of a Harlem bar just before the start of Pride Month, police said — an act Gov. Cuomo condemned.
Cops were called at around 12:20 a.m. Friday to Alibi Lounge on West 139th Street near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd., where two rainbow flags were set ablaze, police said Saturday. By the time officers arrived the flames were extinguished by the rain, and no one was hurt.
The arsonist remained at large, and cops are investigating the crime as a possible bias incident.
“Some a–hole set our rainbow flags on fire!” the bar tweeted. “It’s a hate crime!”
Cuomo blasted the brazen act.
“I am disgusted by the burning of a Pride flag outside an LGBTQ bar in Harlem early yesterday morning,” the governor said in a Saturday tweet.
“There is no place for hate in New York. Rather than divide New Yorkers, this despicable act will only strengthen our commitment to tolerance, equality and justice for every individual,” he added.
Patrons agreed with Cuomo.

Burn an American flag and those libs have no problem with it.
Almost 100 percent chance that this is an inside job to stir the pot and gain some sympathy.
Almost 100% you’re right.
“Gay pride” is a hate crime against humanity and against the Lord.
If it’s OK...or even “courageous”...to burn the US flag the it’s absolutely OK to burn the perverts’ flag.
Flaming. Just saying...
So....A liberal burns a homosexual pride flag. What’s the problem?
+1
Any other person that burns a flag is called an activist.
You raise a good question. Someone should ask Mario’s brat if butning an American Flag is a disgusting act of hate. I would like to hear marble mouth give an answer.
“arsonist” LOL! The media keeps digging it’s hole.
And just where was Jussie Smollett?
There is no month dedicated to sin. Rainbows belong to God - His covenant with man promising to not wipe us out with flood. Homos do not have a claim on it.
Look for the gaystapo to step up its suppression of normalcy. But the tighter you wind the spring, the more it explodes when it finally releases.
“Some a–hole set...”
He should know.
Did the perp shout “Harlem is MAGA country!”?
Three ways for that bar to get some publicity:
1. Buy radio ads (expensive).
2. Buy TV ads (more expensive).
3. Set fire to your own flags (free).
Roflmao
>>The Alibi Lounge near Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd.,...<<
Sounds like a nice family establishment.
