Vandals Target Dallas GLBT Monument, Church, Media Buildings

Vandals tagged at least four places with red paint over the weekend, painting "666," the biblical sign of the devil, on monuments and buildings.

Drivers passing the Legacy of Love monument at the corner of Oak Lawn Aveune and Cedar Springs Road couldn’t miss the three large sixes painted in bold red along the monument’s side.

“My heart just sank, just sank — couldn't believe it,” said Brenda Marks, president of The Oak Lawn Committee.

In the past, gay community leaders have gathered at the monument to celebrate court victories.

“This is our neighborhood plaza,” Marks said. “Things that happen that make our community joyful are celebrated here and things that are sad that we commemorate are commemorated here.”
