An Indiana church was targeted by racist, homophobic vandals a day after hosting a resistance event tied to the one-year anniversary of President Donald Trumps inauguration.
Parishioners at Unitarian Universalist Church in West Lafayette, Indiana, arrived Sunday to discover two obscenity-filled banners tied to fences on the property.
One of the banners reportedly read, Die Fucker, Orlando just like Los Vegas [sic], and included the date Jan. 23, USA Today reports.
