(USA) - These days buses are plastic-wrapped with their messages, like giant Twinkies on a mission. The one driving down Route 7 in Virginia yesterday was purplish on one side and orange sunset on the other. In huge letters it said "Social Justice for Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People." On the highway, fellow drivers either honked and waved or threw Coke cans. In Sioux City, Iowa, someone spray-painted the bus with "Fag, God doesn't love you." A Patrick Henry press release announcing the visit called them a "traveling group of homosexual activists" and "false teachers." Many of the riders come from evangelical families and attended colleges like the ones they visit.
