Vigil supporting LGBTQ community in Renton after Pride display vandalized: 'Love will win'

RENTON, Wash. -- A Pride month display in front of the United Christian Church in Renton has been vandalized several times over the last week. The FBI is now investigating it as a hate crime. Community members and churchgoers are refusing to give in to fear and gathered for a vigil on Friday.

The Pride Month display is back up, standing loud and proud with the words “God's doors are open to all” across them. A seventh door has also been put up, reading “love wins.”

With each hope-filled pass of the paint roller, Cameron McLaughlin's pride for his community grows.

“These don’t belong to the church, these belong to the community. These belong to anyone who believes God's doors are open to all. We just want to show love.”
