Another Pride crosswalk has been vandalized in Greater Victoria, this time in Brentwood Bay where municipal crews are busy removing slurs.

Earlier in June, the City of Langford installed a number of Pride Month banners along Goldstream Avenue, but in the first 24 hours they were displayed, five were vandalized with red spray paint.“People are still persecuted,” said Mann. “The queer community is resilient because we have had so much oppression and so much systemic oppression. Someone even yelled ‘boo’ at the flag-raising that we did at the legislature on Thursday.

tells CHEK News in a statement that it’s disappointed and saddened to see the crosswalk near Bayside School vandalized.
