Re: Westboro at Constance's graduation
Don’t counter hate with more hate. Take it as an opportunity to raise awareness for a positive cause. For example: start a pledge drive. For every minute that Westboro Baptist Church is there, a certain amount of money will get donated to a pro-gay cause. This will turn their protest against them, because the longer they are there, the more money is being donated against them.

ACTION ALERT!
My last post regarding the WBC protest of Constance McMillen’s high school does not sit well with me.
I never would have guessed that this fanatical, fame & money mongering group of ‘religious’ wack jobs (at best) would ever think to picket a high school graduation… I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise. (NO, not really…) THOUGHTS? ACTIONS? IDEAS?

The amount of people condemning ex-gay therapy could fill a baseball stadium. Or rather, make that every baseball stadium in the United States, from Camden Yards to Dodger Stadium.
But perhaps the most influential voice condemning ex-gay therapy comes from one of the founders of the biggest ex-gay organization in the U.S. — Exodus International. His name? Michael Bussee, and he was one of...

queerwatch:
ohmygay:
That’s right apparently a “major” celeb is set to come out on May 5th in a People magazine feature followed by a number of talk show circuit visits.
I’ve heard rumblings of Queen Latifa, Wentworth Miller, Anderson Cooper, or Kevin Spacey.
Any guesses?
