Photo gallery's window smashed

By Nancy Bartley

Seattle Times staff reporter

A window featuring a display of photographs of transgender women was smashed early Sunday in an act of vandalism the owner of Benham Gallery believes was committed by someone offended by the photos' subject matter.

A large Seattle utility-hole cover was hurled through the window at 1216 First Ave., breaking the glass, slamming against a wall and damaging the floor when it fell.

Some people would rather dig through sewers than see art.

I have to see the pic before I call them art - and Seattle has a huge vandalism problem, it may, or may not, be the reason.
