Westboro Baptist Church Inadvertently Raises Big Money for Local Gay-Straight Alliance
Following the Westboro Baptist Church’s announcement that they plan to protest harass the hell out of students at Missouri’s Clayton High School, CHS’s Gay-Straight Alliance leaders have organized a Phelps-a-thon in order to raise money for the Human Rights Campaign.
For every minute that WBC protests, pledge contributions from donors will be payed to the Clayton GSA. The longer that Westboro pickets outside against an imagined evil, the more money for gay rights!
CHS has a very informative web site up with details of the protest here, with guidelines for signs and t-shirts for all participants. Please note that the official theme of CHS’ response is “Love Conquers Hate,” and that the Gay-Straight Alliance requests that everyone “be respectful and mindful of the decisions that CHS students are making as they plan this event.”
Such clever young homos and allies! Way to beat the bigots at their own game.
