Default Westboro Baptist is coming!

To our fair city this Friday to picket a local High School where "The Laramie Project" is being produced as the fall play. A "Phelps-a-thon" is being organized in response. A Phelps-a-thon is a counter-demonstration where passers-by can pledge money to support local GLBT charities on a "Per minute" basis. For instance, here, the WBC folks are scheduled to picket for 35 minutes between 2:55pm and 3:30pm. A pledge of $2 a minute is $70 for the local GLBT youth program and the Gay Straight Alliance at the High School in question. The beauty of this is that a Phelps-a-thon puts the Westboro bozos in the position of raising money for GLBT causes.
