Graffiti In Mississippi: “No 2 Gay Marrage”

A series of graffiti incidents has occurred in Jackson, Mississippi, one of which reads, “NO 2 GAY MARRAGE (sic) KILL THEM.”

The graffiti appears on the side of a vacant building on West Capitol Street according to My Fox AL. The Human Rights Campaign has condemned the graffiti in a blog post, saying that “this hateful message does not represent Mississippi values.”

The Human Rights Campaign also called for Mississippians to “stand up and make it clearly known that these kinds of messages of hatred have no place in our society.”
