God Loves Gay Robin: Comic Fans Trounce Westboro Baptist Church
Some people you simply shouldn't mess with. Westboro Baptist Church decided to pick a fight with comic geeks by picketing the San Diego Comic-Con with their personal brand of hatred and embarrassing behavior for "worshiping false idols". BIG MISTAKE.
Comic geeks picketing the WBC right back, outnumbering the WBC by at least 20 - 1. They wore their cosplays getups and carried signs saying, "God Loves Gay Robin", "Odin is God", "Superman Loves Fags", "God Needs a Starship", as well as protest signs from several different comic book and sci/fi movie plotlines. A monster held up a sign offering "Free Hugs", a pair of dominatrices offered "Free Spankings For Jesus", and Jesus himself gave the geeks his blessing.
Moral: DON'T MESS WITH GEEKS, FOR THEY WILL MESS WITH YOU RIGHT BACK AND THEY ARE BETTER AT IT THAN YOU.
