Anti-Gay Message Spray Painted on Dupont Circle Sidewalk

Someone spray painted the words “down with the gay agenda” onto a sidewalk in front of Thaiphoon at 2011 S St. NW over the weekend. Restaurant manager Sapol Jirapanjavat said he first saw the message yesterday and contacted police just after noon today to report it.

“The Second Police District is aware of this incident, and members have been dispatched to that location,” said Karimah Bilal, a spokeswoman for D.C. Police.

Twitter user Stephen Solka first spotted the graffiti just after noon today. But the offensive message didn’t stay unedited for long.

Dupont resident Dito Sevilla said he spray painted over the hateful message this afternoon. As of 2 p.m. today, the message read “down with the gun agenda,” an edit Sevilla made after reading our article.
