Massachusetts church vandalized after LGBTQ Pride flags removed: 'Stay Gay' Grace Community Church defaced with graffiti saying 'Stay Gay, Stay Hard'

A church in Massachusetts was vandalized with pro-LGBTQ graffiti last week after church members removed Pride flags that were placed on the property by an openly gay couple renting its facility to run a preschool.

Pleasant Street Preschool, which had been renting space at Grace Community Church in Marblehead, is run by Mike Richmond and his partner Ryan Thompson, who placed Pride flags on the property to celebrate Pride month, according to local Marblehead Current.

Richmond posted a video to Instagram last Wednesday of the church member taking down the flags, who explained she was doing so "because it’s a church that does not celebrate — you can have your time, but we don’t want to celebrate it if we don’t have to."

"We’re also a church that believes in the Bible," the woman added. "We have the freedom to do both things."

"As a gay person who runs a business there, I simply wanted representation and to display this symbol of peace, love and acceptance," Richmond wrote in the post. "I never discussed Pride, the flags or what it means to be gay with the children. They noticed them on the way to the park and thought they were pretty."

"I'm so beyond sad and frustrated. I can't tell you how difficult it is to have to go there every day now and try to remain composed and run a normal day for the kids," he also said.

When Richmond arrived at the church last Friday, he reportedly discovered it had been defaced with spray-painted graffiti of a rainbow, as well as "Stay Gay, Stay Hard" and "Love is 4 everyone." Richmond told Marblehead Current he called the police immediately and that he does not condone such behavior.

A gay couple running a preschool, and the church decided to rent space to them? Of course, this being Mass if they didn’t they’d probably be taken to court.

‘Stay Gay, Stay Hard’

I remember the old RIGID calinders of the 1950s advertising a pretty girl riding a Rigid Pipe wrench. The caption was “A girl likes something RIGID between her legs!”

Here is one for the Gays! “A Gay likes something RIGID up his rear!”

Maybe these pinkos (not Christian) will learn that you can never be left enough now.
