West Vancouver Police accused a man of carrying out a “gesture of hate” for ‘defacing’ a rainbow-colored gay pride crosswalk after he left tire marks on the road.

“On July 7, 2020 at 4:04 pm staff inside the police station heard a loud and sustained tire squealing outside,” according to the West Vancouver Police website. “When officers took a closer look, they discovered that someone had just left tire marks across a portion of the crosswalk, at the intersection of 16th St and Esquimalt Ave.”

The man then left the area at high speed but has since been identified by authorities.

“This is very upsetting,” said Cst. Kevin Goodmurphy. “For whatever reason, this person has chosen to leave a gesture of hate on a crosswalk that stands for the exact opposite.”


The “gesture of hate” is a tire skid mark that covers part of the crosswalk but is by no means substantial.

Respondents to the tweet questioned whether West Vancouver Police should be concentrating on finding more dangerous criminals than those who leave tire marks on the road.

I always drive on the sidewalk on gay roads because I don’t want to deface the pride

If that’s a gesture of hate, I owe parking lots across the south apologies starting in the early 1980s.

If skid marks are a gesture of hate then my underwear must be considered Hitler.

I bet you think the phrases All Lives Matter or It’s OK to be white are divisive though.

If we searched the vicinity and found any recent roadwork or parking lot resurfacing, it means things are scarier than we thought.

West Vancouver doesn't have a homophobe on the loose and behind the wheel. Instead, there's a whole team of bigots in the area systematically getting other people to spread their hate by putting hot tar and asphalt on the ground.
