Million Fag March Protesting Fred Phelps
Permalink  

Hi friends, I know it has been a while... I have been under a lot of stress, my family is going through a lot of issues... and I have been really busy.  I have also been battling my depression alot this year.

Anyway, Some was brought to my attention by another friend of mine... he even wants me to drive my new car to Kansas for this event--the "Million 'Fag' March"--and try to recruit a friend to go with me... otherwise, it might be cheaper for me to fly.  

I have included the press release below... I am very interested to hear what you guys think... it apparently is being talked about on the sirius gay radio--at least that is where my friend heard about it and got the website for the press release below.

Would anyone from this group go... I am considering it, but only if I having someone going along, or if I can fit it into another trip.

Please check out the info below and or the website and let me know what you think.

Big Hugs & Blessings of Love, Joy, Peace & Health,
Jerry

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

"MILLION FAG MARCH" PLANS TO PROTEST FRED PHELPS
Group Hopes For Large Numbers Outside Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS.

TOPEKA, Kans., February 7, 2008 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."
The virulently homophobic Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), based in Topeka, Kansas, has gained notoriety by picketing the funerals of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to protest what the group sees as America's acceptance of homosexuality. The group has used this and similar tactics at a variety of events nationwide.

Some wonder if the march will only draw more attention to the Phelps' message. Love noted, "Up until now, the only media-mentioned protests against the WBC were footnotes to stories about the Phelps' publicity stunts. We don't think we're going to change the Phelps' minds, but we hope they realize that there is an opposing voice that is equally as powerful as their own. Or at least, as powerful as they perceive it to be."
And if that doesn't work? "Well, for one day we'll bring homosexual and heterosexual people together for a united cause. In Kansas, no less."

You know, my first reaction was to say I'd love to be a part of this.  But then I read this, and now I'm not so sure...
