Westboro Baptist Church ("God Hates Fags") in Seattle next weekend

[Barrett808]

Westboro Baptist Church will be "protesting" in Seattle next weekend (June 13th-15th). They seem to going after Seattle Jews more than gays, but Catholics and Methodists will be getting a dose, too. Here's the itinerary from the WBC site:

06/13/2009 6:15 PM - 7:00 PM Seattle, WA Stroum JCC of Greater Seattle
06/14/2009 08:45 AM - 09:30 AM Seattle, WA Congregation Beth Shalom
06/14/2009 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM Seattle, WA Mt. Zion Baptist Church

Counterprotesting is required. I'll be at the SPU event.

2. That one seems rather odd, as does SPU. But, Garfield?

of course we are expecting the insane to make sense here

3. Too many "fags", as they put it.

Garfield has 60 members in the Gay/Straight Alliance. My nephew is deeply offended that they are not picketing his high school, but he will be there with other students in a peaceful counter protest. They do not plan on engaging these nutcases because these kids realize they are much too far gone.

4. So the word has gotten out to other schools?

That's so cool to hear! If you don't mind telling me, what school does your nephew go to? OK if you don't want to say.

I hope Seattle stages a massive "shun" of those nitwits!

btw, my daughter went to Garfield in the late '70's.
