BERKELEY (KRON) — Anti-gay messages were found on a banner for the Oakland Gay Men’s Chorus.

The targeted banner hangs outside the choir’s office in Berkeley.

“There’s been a lot of, a lot of disgust, quite honestly,” said James Berglund, choir member.

The banners were found with hate filled anti-gay slurs at the office on Alcatraz Street.

“People are just not going to be putting up with it anymore, so we’re tired of it,” Berglund said.
