Acts of Vandalism & Hate Crimes Up in 2021 in Salem, Mass.SALEM, Mass.—Jodi Bee Bakes, a bakery located in downtown Salem, Mass., has repeatedly had its storefront vandalized over the past months, in what the Mayor says is an attempt to shake up the community, more specifically the LGBTQIA+ community.“As a city that prides itself on being inclusive and welcoming, we strongly condemn these acts,” said Mayor Kimberley Driscoll to The Rainbow Times. “They are more than just cowardly acts of vandalism—they are intended to frighten and discomfort residents in their own community.”On its storefront, the bakery dons rainbow and trans pride flag stickers, amongst others.
