Vandals target LGBTQ-friendly housing development for low-income seniors with violent and threatening hate speech.
Boston police confirmed they were investigating the incident, which was reported about 11:42 a.m.
LGBTQ Senior Housing announced an event at the site Sunday afternoon"to denounce hate and reaffirm the promise of a welcoming, inclusive and diverse Hyde Park." Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said Sunday that all threats to the LGBTQ+ community will be prosecuted. "It breaks my heart to see these ugly threats targeting a project — and a community — of such importance to our city," Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said in a statement."This is the second straight weekend of Boston being marred by hatred and intolerance. This cannot stand. My office will prosecute threats to the LGBTQ+ community wherever and whenever they occur.
The FBI is among the groups investigating Saturday's march by Patriot Front, in which at least one clash broke out but no arrests were made. There was no advance intelligence about the demonstration, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu told reporters.
