An LGBTQ-themed mural at a San Francisco art gallery was set on fire this past Monday — in a series of acts of vandalism on the painting since its installation in June. The mural titled, “Por Vida,” is outside the Mission District’s Galeria de la Raza and has become a flash point for hot button issues in the neighborhood from gentrification to racism to homophobia.
