Citizens and businesses in Coronado, California are rallying around Oscar De Las Salas and Gary Jackson, a gay couple from Arizona, after an anonymous homophobic heckler turned their dream wedding last month into a nightmare. Local police are also investigating the incident, as KGTV's Michael Chen reports:

10News has learned police are taking a closer look after a local gay wedding was interrupted by a hateful rant... A day after 10News' story aired, De Las Salas received a call from Coronado police. A police report was filled out. Detectives tell 10News they must determine if this was free speech or threatening speech and a hate crime. De Las Salas says whatever the result, he hopes to get the identity of the man. "I want to expose this person to the public, so people know this is not OK," said De Las Salas.

A local viewer, Alisa Kerr, contacted the station after seeing Chen's story. She and a group of friends want to throw De Las Salas and Jackson a vow renewal party, and Kerr says they've already enlisted the services of Loews Coronado Bay Resort, several bands and restaurants, and a wedding planner.

"We wanted to make it right," Kerr told Chen. "We didn't want that [ugly incident] to be a reflection of Coronado. We take a lot of pride in being helpful, kind, generous and accepting. Let's celebrate their love and show them people are one thing that makes Coronado a special place to be."

De Las Salas was brought to tears when he learned of Kerr's kindness. He and his husband plan to accept her offer, which they say "shows there are many, many kind people in Coronado ... that value equality."
