P.E.I. premier says homophobic graffiti spray-painted on church is ‘sickening’
STRATFORD, P.E.I. — The premier of P.E.I. says the damage caused by vandals who recently spray-painted a local church with homophobic slogans is sickening.
Wade MacLauchlan posted a brief message on Twitter saying the graffiti on Our Lady of Assumption Church in Stratford, P.E.I., shakes the Island’s “sense of safety.”
The RCMP issued a statement saying they believe the Roman Catholic church was vandalized during the overnight hours of Feb. 9.
Messages spray painted on the church include “666 Satan Lives” as well as a message using a derogatory term for homosexuals saying God hates gays.
