Gay Couple's Property Defaced With Prop. 8 Signs

Reporting
Andrea Menniti
MARYSVILLE (CBS13) ― A married same-sex couple says they are frightened after discovering that someone had plastered their property with "Yes On 8" signs.

Someone knocked on their Marysville door just after dark and fled before anyone came to the door. When Kelly Rieckert opened her front door, she was greeted by an unwanted surprise -- a "Yes On Proposition 8" sign was attached to a gate on her door, facing inward.

Other signs supporting the proposed ban on same-sex marriage were also placed on her property.

Rieckert and her spouse live in a neighborhood lined with pro-Proposition 8 posters, and never put up opposing signs in hopes of staying under the radar. Now, she says she feels targeted.

"To show up like that, it felt threatening," she said. "It felt like somebody was trying to run us out."

Rieckert called the police, but was told that nobody in the neighborhood got a close look at the culprit.

"My concern is what they are going to do next," she said.
