A Florida teenager has been arrested and charged with felony criminal mischief for allegedly defacing a pro-LGBTQ mural in St. Petersburg, Florida. Christian Maier, 18, was apprehended on Monday after a month-long manhunt, according to the St. Petersburg Police Department.

Maier was captured on video on May 22nd, at 3:45 a.m., recklessly maneuvering his car in a way to leave several tire marks across the mural and causing significant damage. It isn't immediately clear whether the damage was caused intentionally, but St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch cited homophobia as the motive in May.

Maier was released after posting a $5,500 bond, having been in custody for just over five hours. The mural was quickly restored in time for Pride Month, which ran from June 1 to June 30.

St. Petersburg celebrated its Pride Parade on June 22, as announced by the St. Pete Pride non-profit organization. The event was described as a "giant public orgy" by Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez, who attended the event and was left feeling "physically ill."


Hernandez detailed in a video posted to X that she witnessed nudists at the event who were fully erect in front of children, standing in a way to make sure that everybody saw their fully exposed penises. She also reported that there were adults grabbing other people's genitals and other adults masturbating. There was a fetish zone in which people were peeing on each other.

Hernandez concluded her video by saying that she was "shocked and horrified" after experiencing the event and that she didn't think she was ever going to cover pride ever again after what she witnessed.

The event was attended by people of all ages, including children. The fetish zone was an 18+ area, but there were no IDs being checked and again there were adults essentially having sex in public.

The incident has sparked outrage among conservatives, who have long criticized the LGBTQ community for their "deviant" behavior. Many have taken to social media to express their disgust and call for stricter laws to protect children from being exposed to such behavior.

This is not the first time that the LGBTQ community has been accused of promoting deviant behavior. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of children being exposed to explicit sexual content at pride events. In 2022, a group of parents in California sued the state for allowing their children to be exposed to explicit sexual content at a pride event.

The incident in St. Petersburg is a reminder that the LGBTQ community still has a long way to go in terms of gaining acceptance and understanding from the general public. While many people support the LGBTQ community, there are still those who view them as deviants and a threat to society.

It is important for the LGBTQ community to continue to fight for their rights and to educate the public about their experiences. However, it is also important for them to be mindful of the impact that their behavior can have on others, especially children.
