Hundreds protest Fred Phelps and his church
TOPEKA, KS. Mar. 30, 2008 - Hundreds of people from Kansas and across the country gathered Sunday in Topeka to protest Pastor Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. The march was also a way to promote peace, love, and equality.

People of all ages, races, and sexual orientation were present. The group of more than four hundred people marched throughout Gage Park, but were not allowed to cross any streets without a parade permit. The organizer of the march, Chris Love says he wants to show the Westboro Baptist Church there is an opposing voice equally as powerful. Other marchers feel the same.

"We don't agree with him talking about hatred and how God hates this god hates that," marcher Angi Boetta said. "We're just here to show him who we are and we're not going away no matter what you say or do."

"All the haters and stuff they need to know that its not all about that, its about positivity and we're trying to create a positive influence towards gay people," marcher Joshua Burch said.

LF DOSE HAPPY DANCE!

2. I cant stand either one of'em...

the Phelps kult or the evil magisterium.

3. Phelps and his congregation are a bunch of hateful asshat bastards.

Were I anywhere near that church, I'd be protesting too.

4. "Opposing voice equally as powerful"?

The Westies are a pitiful minority. Their only "power" lies in their piggybacking on millennia of gay hatred.

Most adults aren't so potty-mouthed.

5. That's not where their real power lies

Those people, if such they be, are all lawyers who will sue at the drop of a hat, and sue repeatedly until the victim is ruined. Hence, everyone's scared to go up against them.

[Orsino]

6. I think their real power lies elsewhere...

...specifically, in the inertia of most Americans. Even those who find the Westies' behavior vile may secretly sympathize, enough so that they will let it stand.
