GCC Westboro Encounter?

No.

In fact, Westboro made bad on their threat to arrive with their signs, bigotry, and general pissing contests.

Instead, a group that I have never heard of, HERO, decided to show up en mass and delivered unto the theater a massive glut of theater goers. Indeed, they were heroes in this.

As was spoken over and over, we are a community; we have come together for all members of our community; and together, in peace and love, we promote equal human rights for all our members.

I cannot say outright that I'm actually disappointed that Westboro Baptist Church did not appear -- these are people I would prefer not manifest anywhere -- but it does seem a little silly that this was going to be one of their protests and they did not even show up for it.

There we go. That is all. I will link other news about the event, or lack thereof, for anyone interested in the goings on as they come available.

Westboro Baptist Church Protest at Glendale Community College

Tonight at around 6pm people are forming up to counter-protest the Westboro Baptist Church. They will be assembling near Glendale Community College in order to spread their insane message of bigotry and hate.

Anyone who would like to join us can visit Better Than Faith and see the map and other information on the counter-protest.

I look forward to meeting people there, and actually taking a gander at how GCC has changed over the years.
