I genuinely hope the moron who torched the bench sees the news coverage and realises what a complete idiot they were. Congratulations, you didn’t just commit a hate crime, you also got the wrong bench.
Maybe next time, before letting their fragile phobia of colours send them into a rage spiral, do a bit of research. Learn what that rainbow actually stands for instead of throwing a tantrum over something they clearly don’t understand.
