VACAVILLE, Calif. -- Four girls and a boy lured a lesbian teenager into a remote area and cut off her ponytail in an apparent anti-gay hate crime, authorities say.

The crime happened so fast that the victim had no time to react, she told authorities. The attack left the lesbian teen with a bald spot on the back of her head. After making sure her daughter was safe, the girl's mother got an emergency hair appointment, and the hair stylist said it took her two hours to repair the damage. "It was really traumatic for her," the hair stylist told news10.net.

Hi friends,

I need your HELP!

On Saturday, June 15, the Hillcrest community will host the third annual Amazing High Heel Race, in which all money raised goes to pay for the Hillcrest Pride Flag that was installed last summer, including paying down the installation costs, the continued maintenance of the flag and for the future monument project at the flag's base.

The flag has quickly become a symbol of Hillcrest and our community and it is our duty to make sure it continues to fly proud for generations to come.
