Employees and volunteers at the Los Angeles LGBT Center last week painted over anti-LGBT slurs that were spray-painted on the walls at its facility in Hollywood.

The slurs at The Village at Ed Gould Plaza, near Santa Monica Boulevard and Highland Avenue, included specific attacks on transgender people, as well as to the LGBT community as a whole.

“It happened sometime between 9 and 10 p.m. [Thursday] night,” said Jackie DeFede, director of facilities at the LGBT Center. “We had a security officer on duty, but he was patrolling other areas of the building. Fortunately, we have cameras that should have recorded the perpetrators.”

Gil Diaz, communications manager for the LGBT Center, said on Monday that the center filed a police report.

Lt. Richard Gabaldon with the LAPD Hollywood Division ­said on Wednesday that officers were headed to the LGBT Center to look at surveillance footage to get a suspect description.

Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said he reached out to LGBT Center officials immediately after he heard about the vandalism to express his “deep concern and support.”

“It was a shocking display of hate at such a well-loved institution in our community,” he said. “This hate incident, which is being investigated, serves as a reminder to everyone to stay informed, be vigilant and help fight the intolerance that threatens the safety, health and well-being of the LGBT community.”

Councilman David Ryu, 4th District, said the vandalism is “completely unacceptable,” and described the incident as horrendous. Ryu also reached out to the LGBT Center right when he heard about the vandalism to offer his full support. He said it’s important that he stand strong with the LGBT community and other minority or marginalized groups.

“We need to show everyone that we’re sticking together,” he said.

According to the LGBT Center, it is not the first time their facilities have been vandalized, but it was the worst case of vandalism targeting one of their facilities in recent history.
