\"\"Under the tutelage of Rev. Kevin George, the youth group at St. Aidan\u2019s in London has painted some rainbow doors \u201cto display as a sign of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Someone who is less than enthusiastic about drag queen story hour has vandalised them with the following:<\/p>\n

Admittedly, this is a trifle rude, but then Rev. George is not averse to posting scatological incivilities in his twitter feed when it suits him:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That didn’t deter the good Rev from piously tweeting this about his vandalised doors: \u201cTo the person or persons who did this last night at St Aidan\u2019s Church, we will not be deterred. Hate will not prevail.\u201d <\/em>I suspect what he really means by that last sentence is \u201cHate will not prevail, unless it\u2019s what I hate\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Members of St. Aidan\u2019s Anglican Church arrived this morning to find some of their property vandalised.<\/p>\n

Overnight, a door they had painted for pride month was spray painted with profanity. The vandalism was referring to \u201cdrag queen story time,\u201d an event that has recently sparked controversy.<\/p>\n

The Church\u2019s Rector Kevin George told CTV News that young members of the Church created a pride art installation a year ago with multiple doors saying, \u201cGod\u2019s doors are open to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pride Flag door was left on display on a fence outside the Church Saturday and was vandalized with profanity spray painted over it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was disheartening to see that message,\u201d Rector Kevin George said in response to the \u201cvulgar message\u201d they found on the door.<\/p>\n

In a post on social media, George, said, \u201cTo the person or persons who did this last night at St Aidan\u2019s Church, we will not be deterred. Hate will not prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n

George said members of the Church spent part of the afternoon repainting their doors in Pride colours, which will be on display for next month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
