Despite our differences, I think most of can agree that the Westboro Baptist Church sucks. Everybody hates them for picketing funerals and thanking god for dead soldiers, amongst other nastiness.

But they’re not content to stay in their own state- even though they are quite content to stay inside their tiny minds- they’re coming here to Rhode Island to protest our state’s progress on marriage equality- or “fag marriage” as they call it. I intend on showing up wherever they show up to let them know they suck and that they’re not welcome here.

It’s not worth trying to reason with these guys. If it were even possible there wouldn’t be a Westboro Baptist Church. We can only be louder. And the best part? There will be LARPer’s. Yes, as in Live Action Role Players. There’s an open group on Facebook called My Big Gay LARP and it’s going to make protesting a lot more interesting.

This is how I imagine our counter protest will look.

You can come as yourself, or a Jedi, it doesn’t matter- no one will ever look as stupid as WBC members are in real life.

Here’s they’re August 1st schedule, and thus our schedule. So come on out, have some fun, and stand up to hate filled idiocy. Just remember, don’t do anything that’s going to get you arrested.
