Authorities in Plano, Texas, are investigating what they call "an intentionally set fire" at a Unitarian Universalist church Sunday, just weeks after it was targeted for criticism in a video by an anti-LGBTQ Christian YouTuber.

A passerby spotted flames coming from Community Unitarian Universalist Church early Sunday, Plano Fire-Rescue said in a statement. The fire was around the front door and was extinguished quickly, causing no injuries, it said.

The title is incorrect. The anti-LGBTQ YouTuber didn't visit the church, he targeted it in a video. Luckily, titles on Lemmy can be edited.

Did you read the article? He and his buds visited the church to troll them and make a YouTube vid weeks beforehand. I do believe the headline linking this between the 2 incidents is over the top and a little clickbaity, however.

I would edit the title if it were incorrect, but it's not.
