“Those spray painting these homophobic statements do not represent the vast majority of people here, and I condemn them and their actions entirely. We can have no tolerance for such views in our society.

“All of us must unite and face down homophobia and those who promote it.

“I have asked for the graffiti to be removed and I urge anyone with information on this incident to contact police with it immediately.”
