LGBTQ-Affirming Church Has Perfect Response to Hateful Vandalism

Allendale United Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, Florida has a history of using its marquee to advocate for minority communities and socially progressive ideas. Their most recent message advocated for an amendment that would restore voting rights to most felons, following completion of their sentences, which is up for a vote in November.

Sometime over Sunday night, or the early hours of Monday morning, someone spray painted their own message over it: “Gay pastor.”

The church, whose pastor is not gay but which is welcoming of the LGBTQ community, put, “Love always wins” on the right side of the homophobic graffiti, and rainbow hearts on the left. They also updated the other sign of the sign to read, “Vandalism is a felony that shouldn’t take away your vote for life! Vote yes on Amendment 4.”

Me and my man aren't religious and are usually annoyed when people invite us to church but little do he know we're going this Sunday. Gonna pick up my boy Willhunt and be on our way to Florida. I always swore I'd never set foot in "Stand your ground" [aka open season on the brothas] country but this is a special occasion. I apologize in advance to everyone who is sitting behind me.
