This homophobic graffiti was owned in the best way possible
Here’s a chap called Chris Pender, who was standing for the Social Democrats in the local elections in Ireland and had the perfect response to the people who did this to his campaign poster.
Chris, former chair of Kildare LGBT, shared a picture of him standing next to it on Twitter..
And this is what Chris had to say about it.
This kind of vandalism to my #LE19 poster this close to election is just uncalled for and to say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I mean come on all you had to do was change the P to a B for shame Newbridge for shame pic.twitter.com/JwcullHzy9

And this is what people made of it.
Brilliant. Hope your good humoured response wins you a few votes.

Perfect response. Hope it’s going well for you Chris, you’ve certainly put the work in. Good luck Friday if I dont get the chance to say it to you tomorrow

Pretty much the only reply really and to be fair I think their smiley shows it was meant as a joke

Haha omg I can't believe they missed that. A fine response, sir!

In fairness, my name is right on the bottom of the poster so as another commenter said maybe they just weren't prepared to stoop so low
