A 61-year-old man from Loveland, Colorado, has reportedly been identified as the owner of a truck seen driving with “OPEN OUR GYMS FA-GOT” written on the back window of his vehicle, a message that appears to be directed a Colorado’s openly gay governor, Jared Polis.
True. The drivers are probably gay guys who know this trick will work with the locals to open the gym faster. 🙂

According to Colorado Springs Anti-Fascists, the homophobic driver was seen on the corner Garfield and Orchards in Loveland on Sunday, 5/17/2020, the same day as the Reopen Colorado protest that took place at the state capitol.
The man identified by Colorado Springs Anti-Fascists as the alleged driver has a photo of a truck nearly identical to the one seen in the now-viral image on his Facebook page.

The group describes the man as “a boring and bigoted man living a sad life, whose only joy seems to come from skipping leg day, calling gay people slurs, and spreading viruses.”
It will come as no surprise that Michael likes a bunch of chud shit on Facebook. pic.twitter.com/9hYKzhWH0U

Not much else to say about Michael. He’s a boring and bigoted man living a sad life, whose only joy seems to come from skipping leg day, calling gay people slurs, and spreading viruses. pic.twitter.com/K9pl7mPNMR

Some social media users denounced the display as a “disgusting show of hate.”
Uses homophobic slur to demand a business open up so he can be around sweaty men…

Nothing says “I’m closeted” like this stunt.

CO plates, so referring to Jared Polis who is an openly gay man. Disgusting show of hate.

Given that the truck has CO plates, this is a specific homophobic swipe at Gov. Polis.

Either this statement needs an apostrophe in the word "gyms" or a comma after it. Public schools are failing everyone.
