Advocate: “Police in Orlando said they have opened an investigation after a digital traffic sign was hacked to read “KILL ALL GAYS” earlier this week.
A caller reported the offensive sign shortly after 4:00 a.m. on Wednesday, May 17, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. The traffic sign was located near the intersection of Lake Nona Boulevard and Nemours Parkway, just outside the Nemours Children’s Hospital and a short distance from one of the main exits from the city’s bustling Orlando International Airport.
Local politicians responded quickly to the incident, decrying the hateful message and assuring the public the city of Orlando is a welcome and affirming place for the local LGBTQ+ community.”
