The Denver Police Department is investigating an act of vandalism after a man was seen spray painting over a Trans Lives Matter mural at Lake Middle School.
“It’s just pretty messed up,” said a resident in the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood who did not want to be identified. “It takes more energy to do something hateful than to just leave it alone.”
“It’s really too bad, I saw the kids working on the mural,” said Caroline Simon, who was walking her dog. “I think they’re really working hard to be inclusive and show respect for everyone, and it’s really sad that someone felt the need to deface it.” “Unfortunately, it’s not surprising in our sort of political climate right now,” Simon said. “I would hope we would live in a progressive place that people wouldn’t do such things.”
Residents like Simon and others hope the message of love and tolerance will surpass the vandalism that now lives underneath this fresh coat of paint.
