Church vandalized with anti-LGBTQ graffiti twice this week

ATLANTA — Police are investigating after a church was vandalized with anti-LGBTQ graffiti.

Someone defaced the sign at The Church at Ponce and Highland in Northeast Atlanta this weekend and on Monday.

The church’s Pride flags were also removed and tossed into a garbage can.

Neighbors say it’s disappointing.

“Well, I just think it’s awful. There’s too much of this hateful stuff going on right now,” Robin Bostick said.

Church officials say they’ve contacted investigators at least four times in the last two months over vandalism that appears to target the church’s welcoming stance to the LGBTQ community.

Investigators are not sure if the same people are returning or if they are separate incidents.

Police say patrols have increased around the church and the Atlanta Police Homeland Security Unit is investigating due to the biased nature of the crimes.

The vandals would be better off with tossing on a wig, putting on some eye shadow, grabbing a Queer-Flag and attending naked.
Just say they are “celebrating.”

Real Americans have fireworks others are forced to look at, why not groomers?

It really makes me shake my head when I read the words “the church’s Pride flag”.

Hoax? Maybe. Or maybe people are just sick of this garbage.

“...due to the biased nature of the crimes...”

The cops only come when someone burns a queer flag. But they are OK when fags burn down entire church buildings.

I’m guessing that the vandalism was done by fags looking for attention.

It’s been said that pride goeth before a fall, especially when their “pride” is engaging in abominations such as homosexuality and other immoral sexually deviant behaviors. Their “pride” is pride in sin-

Hoax or not, it’s a Baptist church headed by a female pastor, Mimi Walker. Yes, Reverend Mimi.

“The Georgia Baptist Convention decided in 2010 to remove Druid Hills Baptist Church, later renamed the Church at Ponce & Highland, from its rolls because Walker served as co-pastor with her husband, Graham, who is a professor at Mercer University.”

https://www.arcamax.com/currentnews/newsheadlines/s-2835453

“Rev. Mimi Walker, Senior Pastor, she/her. Mimi has led the Church at Ponce & Highland since 2008. She grew up in the southeast and has pastored and co-pastored Metro Atlanta churches since 2003. Raised in the Presbyterian Church, she was an elder in her church at 17 and felt called into ministry – because the church feels like home.

Mimi and her husband Dr. Graham Walker lived in the Philippines from 1986 to 1998 where they taught in seminary and worked with churches in Baguio City”

Hoo boy, there’s a lot to unpack here. I think we found the prime suspect though.

My preference is to let the “churches” keep their “pride” flags. It identifies them as safe spaces for groomers. I tell my kids when they see the rainbow flag it means “Danger. Stay away.”

Notice that these “crimes” are almost never solved, even with ubiquitous surveillance in public. If they were solved, the hoax would be revealed.
