Long Beach Pride, the organization behind the Southern California city’s annual Pride celebration, shared images on Saturday of hateful graffiti scrawled across a city utility box on the sidewalk in front of its headquarters. The incendiary language, along with a swastika and a call to “#stopbeingquietMAGA!” was drawn sometime on Saturday, according to Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson, who denounced the hateful messaging in a post to X. The graffiti is “not just an attack on a symbol, but an attack on our LGBTQ+ family, friends, and neighbors,” Richardson said. Elsa Martinez, interim president of Long Beach Pride, shared a statement from the organization in the aftermath. “This was not just vandalism—it was a threat meant to terrorize the LGBTQ community,” a statement from Hahn read.
