So the Westoboro Church is coming to protest my school

For those of you who do not know of the Westboro Baptist Church, they are the group behind the website God Hates Fags.  They have been known to protest high schools such as my own, as well as the funerals of fallen US soldiers.  The WBC travels around the country protesting such things and uses methods such as chanting songs with the lyrics changed to hateful slurs and offensive sayings and even tieing US flags to their feet to disrespect the people around them.

As for the reason to why they are protesting my high school the drama group is putting on a play about a gay college student who was kidnapped, tied to a post, and beaten to death for his lifestyle.  The play itself is not biased in any way, it shows the effects of this murder on the local community and shows how hate can ruin lives.  The WBC seems to think that this play should not be performed and claims that it supports the homosexual lifestlye.

Being a senior I have never been to a drama performance, but instead of planning a counter-protest the whole school plans to sell out the show every night in order to shove it in the faces of the Westboro Baptist followers.  It is just sad to see that hate such as this still goes on today and especially at a place such as a high school.  Their protests are supposed to take place later this week, so I am interested to see how things play out.

Here's what you do. On the way to school, slip your bus driver 20 bucks to just run them all down. No more headache.

I have seen pictures of the young kids holding up signs and wearing shirts promoting their beliefs, it is pretty sad actually.  They have the chance to teach their kids that all people are equal, but instead they are using their children as tools for their hate.

I too feel bad for them. They will never realize how truly fucked up their family is.

WBC came to my school about 8 years ago when we did the Laramie Project.


Ironically enough, I was playing Fred Phelps in the play so I put on my costume and marched right outside with 'em. They're not that bright, seeing how they didn't catch on for a looooooong time (you'd think the fact that I was a high schooler with powdered hair would have triggered something, but no.)

If there is a God, he is more likely to hate them. Good luck with trying to sell this show out and showing these people that there is still hope for the human race and they are not part of it. So angry!

I'd already had a nasty email exchange with one of Phelps' kids earlier in the year. We had to research the characters (since they're all real people), so I went to their website, contacted them and asked for any info on him that they'd be willing to share. One of his daughters sent me a lot of stuff, indicated she knew which play we were doing, said it was wrong but that was about it. Then about a week later one of his sons or nephews or something starts sending me all these emails about how evil we are and how we're all going to hell. I didn't reply for a while, but he kept sending them, so eventually I wrote back. Out of the blue in one he threatened my school, so I reported him to AOL (since he was using an AOL email and so was I) and they suspended his account FTW!

If they protested at my school, I'd round up my paintballer friends and snipe from the roofs.


Then, I'd wave my dick at them. That'll show em.

I read about a motorcycle gang composed of Army veterans who rides around to different funerals, surround them, and rev their engines to block out the sound of the WBC at funerals. True badassery.

Alright, I just found this interesting series where this British dude goes inside the church and it's basically a documentary about that, for anyone that cares. Here's the first video, the rest of the series can be found in the related videos thing on the right

  

I got a lot of respect for this Louis dude for going in there and not punching anybody out. Of, in the 2nd one, a chick tells him confidently that he's going to hell, and then there was an awkward silence. Also, in the third part, he's talking to the sign maker and he calls Princess Diana a "fag enabler". Because he's British, he doesn't take that very well :|

So god hates fags. So we can easily assume that these people are Christians (lunatic Christians, but Christians nonetheless), so they believe that god made everything, and controls everything. So they're basically saying that god is deliberately creating things that he hates? Why the fuck would he do that? (and if someone says "god works in mysterious ways", I will dropkick you into a wood chipper)

You need to get a huge group of gay/lesbian people to have a massive orgy in front of their protest. That'll show them.

I'm on part 4 of the documentary thing, and even though I'm bursting with rage, it is rather interesting.

UPDATE: Louis is talking to a 7 year old holding one of the signs. He asked her if she knew what it meant, and she shook her head.

UPDATE #2: LOL!!!!!! In episode 5 at one of the pickets, a driver throws a cup out the window and nails one of the brainwashed kids in the head!!!!!

I think you should try something outlandish, you know, kiss another dude? Just to see there faces, man, if they were ever at my school, I would do that just to piss them off. Fred Phelps and his family don't deserve to live, God, do what it takes to strike them down, all along with the WBC.

As an Englishman I honestly believe the fact that these people are still alive is a testament to the solidarity of Americans. Where in most other countries they would have been killed already. This is something to be proud about, that the citizens of a balanced mind would not be blinded by madness and hate.

Gosh, I'm no fan of homosexuals, but this is just a horrible case of prejudice. Anyone who bashes funerals, be the deceased Hitler or Martin Luther King, is a horribly ignorant person in my book. While I'm not sure why gay people would want to get married, as it is a mostly religious ceremony, but besides that, they should be able to do anything a normal person can do.

Nice. I think the thing I enjoy most about the WBC is the fact that they truly believe what they preach. It makes me sooo happy to watch them get all angry over homosexuality because they can't do anything. It's just so damn funny to think about all the effort the put into making signs and standing around protesting while most people don't even care what they are saying. The greatest thing is their message is so clearly in the wrong and so horribly presented that it'll never go beyond their silly little cult and watching them pound their fists and stomp their feet equals about the same type of joy I get from watching a monkey in the zoo.

There is few things that irritate me more than people hating on gay people. Seriously, I could go into an hour long rant (and have before) on this subject. This is just one of the many reasons why I don't study any religion or go to church anymore. I don't want to be associated with anyone who could have this amount of hate towards a group of people.
