Does Richmond have a gay Motorcycle Club? Our group of bears has been pretty effective just by their presence at funerals and whatnot. No violence but some protesters find them intimidating.

I'm sure you could get a Patriot Guard for the Holocaust Museum.

My friend is directing a production of The Laramie Project, which WBC has announced they plan to protest. They missed the last one they said they'd be at, which is a little sad, because there was a huge counterprotest ready to go.

+1 for the Patriot Guard. A good straight (not that it matters) friend of mine rides with them.

Those Phelps' really get under my skin. I don't know how they manage to evade hate-speech laws. I mean, if neo-nazis went around picketing schools that were multicultural, they'd be shut up right quick. At least I think so. I just realized I don't know much about the law when it comes to hate speech, and I think I need to do some research.
