Jason Galisatus, a gay candidate for Redwood City Council, had the fence in front of his apartment vandalized with what appears to be a homophobic slur on Thursday, Oct. 11, and police are investigating it as a hate crime, reports The Daily Journal.

Galisatus, 25, came home around 4:30 p.m. that day, shortly before a candidates’ forum, to discover “#gay” spray-painted on the fence next to his bedroom window. And one of his campaign posters, which was hanging on the fence above the graffiti, was torn down.
