Come to a Place Where You Can Openly Say 'Dude' a Lot

The Westboro Baptist Church, of Topeka, Kansas, is a hate group masquerading as a Christian church.

Led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, the misguided members of this church target homosexuals and a range of others with messages of hate. The church’s outrageous protest actions—the group prefers to picket funerals—have earned Phelps and his ilk much media coverage.

To date, the WBC’s protests have taken place in at least 22 states, and have inspired a wave of grassroots anger. As a result, 38 states have introduced bills to limit protests near funerals, and at least 29 of those states have passed such measures. Phelps has vowed to challenge the legislation, alleging that these new restrictions unconstitutionally restrict freedom of speech. …

The time has come to turn the tables. Let us all gather in one place, at one time to (peacefully) show Phelps and his church that freedom of speech works both ways.

March 30th is the date one small group is hoping one large group will take a stand against Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. Beginning at 11:00AM on that Sunday, a planned protest will take place outside of the church in Topeka, KS.

“A million people may be aiming a little high, but we’re hoping for a large turnout,” said Chris Love, one of the March’s organizers. “This isn’t a ‘gay-only‘ event. Anyone who would like to express their displeasure with the Phelps family and their continuing message of intolerance and hate is welcome.”


This has “good time” written all over it.

So if you're in the Topeka area at the end of March, come on down and get your gay on. They'd do it for you.
