Salt Lake City Police are investigating an instance of vandalism at the Utah Pride Center. Friday morning, employees of the center and its onsite coffee shop, Cafe Marmalade, discovered an anti-gay slur painted on the marquee in front of the building.

"We realize that often times the purpose of these actions are to cause widespread fear among the members of our community," Valerie Larabee, executive director of the Utah Pride Center, said in a statement. "That is why today we are speaking out. This will not be swept under the rug. We will not be scared into silence by acts of intolerance."

Larabee said the pride center, which has posted a photo of the sign (below) on Facebook, welcomes "civil, respectful dialogues" with those who disagree with its mission.
