Anti-Gay Hate Graffiti Found At UC Davis
LGBT Center Vows To Leave Slurs Up

DAVIS, Calif. (CBS13) ― UC Davis officials are planning a town hall meeting tonight after anti-gay graffiti was found on campus this weekend, the second possible "hate crime" on campus in the past week.

Graphic anti-gay words and phrases were found spray-painted on the campus Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Resource Center on Saturday morning, the latest in a series of incidents on UC campuses across the state.

A Jewish UC Davis student found a swastika carved into her dorm room door late last week, and a series of racially-charged incidents -- started by an off-campus party mocking urban stereotypes -- have sparked an outcry at UC San Diego.

The graffiti at the Davis LGBT Center drew comment from students who said such incidents are rare on campus.

"You don't normally hear about hate crimes here at Davis," said Giselle Camarillo. "That's just really surprising."

Students with no connection to the center visited the site to see the vandalism, and some even covered the message of hate with messages of love.

1. There is always enough hatred and bigotry in the US to go around. I don't

think it's ever reduced, it just gets covered up 'till it manifests its ugly head again... We have such an element in this country that thrives on hatred and hostility. It is pathetic.

PS: Who the fuck runs around doing urec's for anything to do with human rights... We have a real negative element in this forum...
