The occupants of the vehicle, armed with a megaphone, were seen shouting obscenities and slurs at witnesses who confronted them for the hateful messages displayed.
In response to the incident, West Hollywood city officials released a statement on the city's website, which noted that"reports are particularly distressing as we mark Harvey Milk Day. We celebrate Milk, who was Jewish and who was the first open gay man to be elected to public office in California. We will never forget the path he helped to build in rejecting discrimination and in embracing full civil rights.
"This is not okay," said Dr. Arik Greenberg, a Professor of World Religions at Loyola Marymount University."We are always going to have bigots, we're always gonna have hate-filled bigots, but it's important to have marches like this or rallies of this sort that drown out those voices."
