'Kill All Gays' Sign Investigated In 'Inclusive' Orlando: Mayor

ORLANDO, FL — Police are investigating after a digital traffic sign was hacked Wednesday to read “Kill All Gays” in Orlando’s Lake Nona area.

The anti-gay message was reported just before 5 a.m. near Lake Nona Boulevard and Nemours Parkway, according to Fox 35.

The sign “appeared to be tampered with,” police said, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

The planned message for the sign was supposed to welcome visitors to the area for an upcoming 5K race, a spokesperson for the city told the Washington Post.

Mayor Buddy Dyer spoke out against the hate-filled message on social media.

“Hate has no place in Orlando and this disgusting display is not who we are as a community. To Orlando’s LGBTQ+ residents and visitors: you are respected and valued here. And we won't be deterred in our efforts to ensure that our city is inclusive for all,”

Openly gay Florida Senate candidate Carlos Guillermo Smith tweeted, “This is NOT the place I call home. It’s not Orlando, it’s not Florida. It’s a dystopian upside down world contrived out of an era of unchecked political extremism and overt bigotry. I refuse to be a bystander. We will not let hate win.”
