Gay Cyclists Escape Arson Attack in Michigan

[Cannikin]

(Honor, Michigan) Dozens of sleeping gay cyclists scrambled for their lives as an arsonist set fire to their campsite. About 75 members of Friends North were on a summer bike outing. Twenty in the group set up camp near the town of Honor and bedded down for the night Sunday.

About 12:30 a.m. a member of the group awoke to find a portable toilet on fire and flames spreading to nearby belongings. The cyclist woke up the others fearing the fire would spread to the dry grass and encircle them.

Later, about two dozen hate messages were found scattered throughout the area.

It was the first incident in the 13 years that Friends has run the bike tour weekend that attracts people from throughout the US and Canada.

I guess the cyclists -- even asleep -- were so incredibly scary and threatening tha the bigots had to burn them out. Amazing.
