LINCOLN - Three men broke into a Lincoln woman's home, bound her with zip ties, carved anti-gay slurs into her skin and set her house on fire, she told Lincoln police.

Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime, said Lincoln Police Officer Katie Flood. They have not made an arrest in connection with the attack.

A candlelight vigil in the woman's honor at the State Capitol on Sunday night drew more than 500 people.

The woman was treated at a hospital and released Sunday.

Outlinc, a Lincoln gay-rights organization, said in a statement Sunday evening that board members have confidence in the police investigation.

"Many in our community are understandably experiencing a great deal of sadness, anger and confusion," Outlinc President Tyler Richard said in the statement. "We look to our entire community to pull together in this difficult time."

Beth Rigatusso of Omaha's Heartland Pride said advocates plan to hold an Omaha vigil at 8 p.
