DENVER -- Vandals targeted multiple organizations friendly to the LGBTQ+ community in Denver, but it's not clear whether the separate incidents are linked, 9NEWS Investigates has learned.

A person with a rock smashed several windows at The Center on Colfax, the largest LGBTQ+ community center in the Rocky Mountain region, early Saturday morning - and news of that incident spread quickly.

Parasol Patrol, which shields children from what it describes as "hateful speech of protesters" and provides training to law enforcement and businesses, reported that in addition to The Center, five other businesses were vandalized late last week and into the weekend.

Among them was a building at 3563 Walnut Street that houses Paragon Wellness, Enbodied Fitness and other businesses.

"I think somebody is definitely targeting the queer community, and I don't know what the motives are, but I do know that there's far too many of us that got vandalized for it to be a coincidence," said Styler Ells, who operates the wellness business.

Ells said that the vandalism there occurred late Thursday night or early Friday morning.

Two windows were broken out of a large overhead door and several others were damaged and have to be replaced.

"This was done with a lot of force," Ells said.

Surveillance video at The Center showed a person approached the organization's building early Saturday morning and smashed multiple windows with a rock before running off.

A barbershop near the University of Denver campus also had a window where a pride flag hung shattered early Friday morning.

According to Denver Police, only two of the incidents are under investigation and it does not appear the cases are related.
