LBTRC vandalized

Okay. So I applied to be an intern at the LGBTRC next year and I have an interview set up for next Thursday and I really hope I get it. The LGBTRC was recently vandalized and it made me want to cry (some little ignoramus spray painted "FAGS" on the door to the resource center)...Let's see what Katehi says about this one. It sincerely upsets me that people can be so cruel for absolutely NO reason. Has anyone ever been persecuted for being straight? NO. Then WHY persecute someone for being LGBT or something other than straight? Bigots infuriate me and I just don't understand how someone can commit such a hurtful crime.
