A LGBTQ woman in San Diego who in June 2022 put up a rainbow-colored pride fence at the edge of her backyard finally discovered who may have been vandalizing it for years on end.
Brittany Fuller, who lives in the Scripps Ranch neighborhood, was hanging out Saturday with her partner in their backyard when both of them heard a loud noise.
They quickly reviewed their home surveillance video, which showed two teens on an electric bike throwing apples and other fruits at the pride fence.
Fuller, who identifies as pansexual, managed to catch up with the young kids at a nearby crosswalk.
Police were called but before they arrived, Fuller said she asked them why they vandalized the fence. She said their response was 'absolutely soul-shattering.'
'So these kids told me that within the middle school, there are groups of kids that actively and openly hate LGBTQ kids. They go as far as to paying people to deface the pride fence,' Fuller told ABC 10 San Diego.
Fuller said the teens claimed they were paid $20 to vandalize the fence. They later told police the same thing, the local outlet reported.
'I couldn’t breathe. I felt like someone sucker-punched me,' Fuller said, recalling her reaction to the kids' alleged rationale.
'Just the idea of a child accepting money to hate someone is awful and I can't understand how we are here and how this is happening,' she added.
Fuller, who leads the Scripps Ranch Pride Council, said the two kids were not arrested and instead released to their parents.
However, police are continuing to investigate whether what the teens did is connected to the nearly 20 incidents of vandalism against the fence.

The kids are going to be alright.
Better leave her behind.

Quick someone get a fainting couch.
Perhaps having a prideful fence about your sexual preferences isn’t needed or appreciated.
Straight people don’t do that.
Well, they are throwing fruit, which is a good thing for a “gay” fence.

but it is a new one.
Did you break that lamp? Some one paid me to do it.
“’Just the idea of a child accepting money to hate someone is awful...”
No, they didn’t get paid to hate someone. They got paid to throw fruit at your flag. Probably good money to them.
Virtually EVERY "gay hate crime" is initiated by the "community."
I find the kids story highly suspect, sure kids at school pay other kids to damage two Dykes pride fence, yeah nice deflection of your stupid act.
“In what possible context does this qualify as world news?”
My question also.
If it moves, they will be attracted to it.
Cast iron pans, properly warmed to 320F.
