DALLAS -- A prominent Oak Lawn monument was vandalized and tagged 666? with red paint early Sunday.
The Legacy of Love Monument has been located at the intersection of Cedar Springs Road and Oak Lawn Avenue since 2006. Its become a local landmark and gathering place for Dallas LGBT community. The 35-foot monument is maintained by the Oak Lawn Committee, a neighborhood group.
Oak Lawn Committee president Brenda Marks said she was saddened to hear from a friend that the monument was vandalized. Over the past few years, the Oak Lawn Committee has spent nearly $15,000 on repairs from car crashes. But in this case, she said it hurts more because the damage was intentional.
This one broke my heart, she said. The symbol, its the mark of the devil on a monument thats dedicated to those who have lost their lives to AIDS.

Could've at least come up with something better. Of course, no one's suggesting that they have a single shred of intelligence. If they did they would have pointed the cans at their own eyes and saved us the grief.
