LGBTQ senior housing vandalized with hateful messages: "The fa***ts will die by fire"

Residents of the Hyde Park neighborhood in Boston Sunday woke to a hateful display of vandalism spray painted across a new LGBTQ senior housing complex in the area.

“The fa***ts will die by fire,” “We will burn this,” and “Die slow” were among the messages.

Gretchen Van Ness, executive director of LGBTQ Senior Housing Inc., said she started getting emails about the vandalism from neighbors out walking their dogs early Sunday morning.

“We were heartbroken to wake up this morning to the terrible news that The Pryde was vandalized overnight with hate speech and threats spray-painted on virtually every sign,” LGBTQ Senior Housing Inc. said in a statement.

Just more hate on parade, made possible by the last 6 years of Drumpf, the modern day QOP, and reich-wing media. It feels like we can't go one day without their hate anymore - whether it's swastikas, "Fuck your safe space", or "The f's will die by fire."

Everyday, one new attack after another. The only thing that changes is where, and who is behind it.

We truly are in sad and terrifying times. Even though they told us it'd get better. When? And does it stop getting worse first?

I have little hope that they will find the fascists behind this vandalism, but, I do hope they catch them and lock them the fuck up.
