A rainbow bridge created by a Girl Scout troop to memorialise pets that have passed away has been vandalised – and people think anti-LGBTQ+ bigots are behind it.

The Biggest Little Rainbow Bridge – located in Crissie Caughlin Park in Reno, Nevada – was created by local Girl Scout Troop 508.

The bridge was sadly vandalised, with white paint being poured over the coloured-wood.

“I just want to say congratulations to whoever did this. Congratulations on defacing a bridge made by little girls no older than 12 so that people could say goodbye to their pets,” a local resident said.

An image of the vandalism was subsequently shared on Reddit, where people discussed whether it was anti-LGBTQ+ bigots who damaged the bridge because they may have mistakenly believed the bridge was something to do with the LGBTQ+ community.

“I am utterly disgusted by people… it must have been some illiterate, homophobic idiot who equates every rainbow as a symbol of homosexuality. And even if it was, who f****** cares? Regardless, this is a bridge meant to honour pets we have lost and it is such a beautiful idea,” one user wrote.
