Canada's first openly gay mayor's campaign office vandalized

Police are investigating after someone wrote anti-gay messages on the walls and windows of Liberal Glen Murray's campaign office in Winnipeg. The former mayor of Winnipeg is not commenting on the vandalism, said campaign worker Judy Edmonds. She added his supporters are not letting the incident get them down. Vandals spray-painted the word "fag" twice, on the office's back door and wall. They used a black felt pen to scrawl "Unhonest (sic)," "Liers (sic)" and "I am the devil" on the window. Campaign manager Heather Mack said the act, targeting Canada's first openly gay mayor, is a hate crime and "very upsetting."
