A café and bakery in far northwest suburban Lake in the Hills was subjected to threats and vandalism for plans to host a drag show – but now it is being showered with love.

As CBS 2's Shardaa Gray reported Monday, a steady stream of customers turned out at UpRising Bakery & Café, 2104 W. Algonquin Rd. Over the weekend, the glass front door at the bakery was smashed and a homophobic slur was scrawled on the café's exterior wall.- and human feces was left at the door – all because they advertised a drag brunch show for this weekend.

Algonquin police sergeant in the area saw the suspect leaving the scene and took him into custody. He faces hate crime charges, and charges of criminal damage to property."You know that out there, and you know it's in your community - but the fact that people will go to such extremes for violence is very unsettling," said Ann Leslie.

"We just wanted to come in and be supportive, and let people know - let the establishment know - there's a lot of love out there," Koszoln said."It's pitiful when you walk in and the cases are empty - but on the other hand, it says that so many people have been here, they sold themselves out," Floros said.
