Homophobia's ugly business. Especially when scrawled in spray paint on the side of a house, as some immature thugs have done to Neal Anthony's Tennessee home.

The Irving College native and his boyfriend are shocked and appalled that a group of unidentified men took it upon themselves to scrawl such delectable bits as "All fags go to hell" and "Fags deserve to die" on the side of their shared home. The graffiti comes only two weeks after a group threw a stone through their window and destroyed their mailbox.
Despite the repeated attacks, Anthony's sticking to his gay guns:

I guess whoever was doing this thinks they are going to run me offfrom this community because I’m gay. That is not going to happen… this house has been in my family since it was built in 1851. People our there are ignorant… times have changed. They need to accept open-mindedness.

That's right, girl. Not all Anthony's neighbors are so backward: they're lending a helping hand with the cleanup. That's Southern hospitality, right there.

Also, can we note that these homophobes need a lesson in creativity? "Fags deserve to die?" Boring.
