Brian Kleinmeyer and Daniel Kain woke up to find the decorations defaced last Wednesday (Facebook)
A gay couple who decorated their house with two gingerbread men holding hands were sickened to discover the Christmas ornament had been torn up and smeared with excrement.
Police in Eureka, California, are treating the incident as a suspected hate crime after Brian Kleinmeyer and Daniel Kain woke up to find the decorations defaced last Wednesday (16 December).
The plastic ornaments were let by the vandals directly below the couple’s Pride flag.
In a Facebook post, Kleinmeyer said: “Somebody came to our home [overnight] and wiped faeces all over our gingerbread men.

“I just want to make sure that this doesn’t happen to anyone else or, if it already has, that they feel empowered enough to speak up about it. December 18 2020 4:15 PM EST
Brian Kleinmeyer and his boyfriend Daniel Kain were shocked Wednesday morning when they awoke and saw that the Christmas decorations outside their Eureka, Calif., home had been destroyed.
“They literally ripped them out of the ground, and wiped their asses with them, and carefully laid them at the base of our Pride Flag. I thought things might get stolen, but never in a million years did I think this would happen. I m completely in shock,” he said.
