A flier recently posted at a Houston bus stop used a slur and statistics to encourage gay people to commit suicide, according to a report by Outsmart Magazine.

A man spotted the poster Sunday night at the METRO bus stop at Westheimer Road and Standford Street in the Montrose neighborhood, the magazine reported.

The poster read “Follow your fellow [expletive],” and was plastered with statistics about suicide in the LGBT community. It also featured the image of a person with a rainbow-colored heart on their chest being hanged. The magazine also reported that the man also saw a second poster at the bus stop, which he described as “an appeal to racial purity.” A photo of the flier was sent to METRO police, the magazine reported. METRO officials said someone removed the poster from the bus stop before officers could see it. They said it is illegal to post signs of any type at bus stops.
