While flag burning isn’t illegal, police said Segin tried to
light the Thin Blue Line Flag in a crowd of people, according to
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Police said officers stopped her
before the flag was lit.

Amber Hikes, Philadelphia’s LGBT affairs director, said in a
Facebook post Monday that she helped Segin make bail. Hikes also
said that Segin had been sent to a men’s prison before being
released.

Some rallied in support of Segin and contributed donations to
help her with her legal defense, according to Philly Socialists.

“The police have no place at Pride,” Philly Socialists said in a
Facebook post. “Police represent an affront to LGBTQ people and
people of color, many of whom have who have died at the hands of
police.”

Nearly $2,000 had been raised in support of Segin, according to
the Inquirer.

It’s 2018: Why Are So Many Outlets Deadnaming the Trans Protester Arrested
at Philly Pride?

Two years ago, NBC reported on a big change at queer media advocacy
organization GLAAD. The organization had added a “Q” to “LGBT” in its Media
Reference Guide.

The guide is supposed to be a definitive resource for reporters covering the
LGBTQ community, and given NBC’s reporting on it, one might assume the
network and its affiliates had actually read it.

But that didn’t stop NBC Philadelphia from deadnaming a trans woman who was
arrested at Philly Pride over the weekend for allegedly trying to burn a
“Blue Lives Matter” flag. Deadnaming is the practice of calling a trans
person by a former name that they no longer use. Unless a trans person says
otherwise, using an old name is widely considered a challenge to a trans
person’s humanity.

“Do not reveal a transgender person’s birth name without explicit permission
from them,” reads the GLAAD media guide. “If the person is not able to
answer questions about their birth name, err on the side of caution and do
not reveal it.”

And yet multiple media outlets including ABC 6 Action News, The Philadelphia
Inquirer, FOX News, Philadelphia CBS Local, The Philly Voice, USA Today, The
Courier-Post (owned by USA Today), Patch, and AOL all deadnamed her. NJ.com
deadnamed her and corrected their article, but continued to deadname her in
their caption.

The reports stem from the arrest of ReeAnna Segin, whose arrest has been
criticized as political. She was allegedly attempting to burn a “Blue Lives
Matter” flag, a symbol associated with police support and backlash against
“Black Lives Matter.”
