<p>is coming to my school. There's already a Facebook group organizing students to show up there in protest with 639 confirmed guests. Apparently it's gonna be a "lovebomb party" to benefit the local AIDS task force organization. ^_^</p>
<p>So my question is: who has ideas for kick-ass signs that I can use? And thoughts and opinions about this "church" are welcome of course :P</p>
<p>Make a “God hates you” sign.</p>
<p>If you’re a guy, make out with another guy in front of them. In Speedos, preferably.</p>
<p>Spend less time responding to the ■■■■■■.</p>
<p>Spend more time ■■■■■■■■ the ■■■■■■.</p>
<p>Their signs are often in bright, rainbowy patterns.</p>
<p>I saw an awesome sign somewhere once that said “For a homophobic group, your signs sure are gay”</p>
<p>I laughed for a good couple of minutes.</p>
<p>They came to my school last year… There was a fair sized anti protest.
Wear a bright color, smile in their faces and don’t get emotionally involved. They’re ridiculous.</p>
<p>Cool article about this: [Turning</a> Westboro Church’s Hate Into Charity (VIDEO) | Mother Jones](<a href=“http://motherjones.com/mojo/2010/08/turning-westboro-church-hate-charity-video-pennies-protest-virginia-god-fags]Turning”>Turning Westboro Church’s Hate Into Charity (VIDEO) – Mother Jones)</p>
<p>The only good ways to combat them are to ignore them or mock them. The UChicago students did well with their “God hates figs” signs.</p>
<p>Just ask them “why.” “Why does God hate fags?” They’ll give you some crazy answer. To which you respond “but why?” and so on and so forth.</p>
<p>^^ One of the UChicago frats started dancing to stereotypically gay songs (I saw clips of I’m Coming Out and It’s Raining Men).</p>
<p>But IMO, the best thing you can do is ■■■■■ them. Pretend you’re interested in joining. Get lots of other people to pretend the same. Ask (with a serious face) whether the church allows kissing other people of your gender (and demonstrate), as long as it doesn’t lead to orgasm. Ask them if Leviticus was actually intended to encourage lesbianism.</p>
<p>They were at my school last year as well. Students decided to have signs of the quadratic formula and other “random” facts to “counterprotest.”</p>
<p>Is the extent of their hate for gays protesting? If so, it’s their right, and most people probably disagree with them anyways.</p>
<p>they also like to protest at funerals for soldiers, with signs that say “god bless IEDs”</p>
<p>they’ve got a right to free speech, yes. so do we. and if there’s a hell then I also reserve the right to make every day of their lives miserable down there.</p>
<p>When a gunman walked into a city council meeting in my hometown (population: 30,000) and killed six people, including two police officers and two city council members, they showed up a few days later in the middle of town. I don’t know why. They’re sick.</p>
<p>if I ever get diagnosed with cancer or some terminal illness I’m gonna rent a Hummer H1 and plow through them</p>
<p>^ Compared to you, the WBC are actually tame.</p>
<p>They are peacefully (read: without hurting anyone physically) expressing their religious beliefs. You want to kill them. Think about it a little.</p>
<p>They’re an inbred family of lawyers who intentionally do things that they know will rile up people so that they can then sue them for damages. They’re the ■■■■■■ of real life.</p>
<p>The best thing you could possibly do to them is completely ignore them.</p>
<p>They feed off of the anger they create, and sadly the worst thing to do is hurt them, because they thrive off of suing people. </p>
<p>Unless society somehow manages to lock them all up, the only thing we should do is completely ignore them.</p>
<p>They’re looking for attention. You’re going out of your way to give it to them. </p>
<p>Maybe it’s just me, but going on the Internet to seek ideas about how to irritate some group of weirdos, and then make signs and march around town–is far too much work for me to dedicate to people I don’t care for.</p>
<p>ditto DCHurricane.
They do it for attention, so I wouldn’t show up to protest them, but I think a big reason they do what they do is to make people mad so they are retaliated against. Then they sue and get $$ and try to do it again.</p>
