Fandom, I love you. Don't ever change
Fred Phelps and minions decided to picket ComicCon.
To quote ComicsAlliance.com: "Simply stated: The eclectic assembly of nerdom's finest stood and delivered."
Bax speculated that Fred is being deliberately invited to events to spark a counter-protest. I've met Fred, he picketed K-State regularly and kevynjacobs was on his hate fax list for a while in the mid-90s. Fred has no, none, zilch sense of irony, humor or absurdity. His tunnel vision and leaps of logic are breathtaking to behold. What I suspect is happening is that he's been around so long that he's finally entered the realm of absurdity. (I'm 36 and I've been listening to Fred wail since I was 19.) Coupled with the fact that a whole younger generation is much more gay tolerant and just not feeling the outrage and hellfire when it comes to gay rights and the whole thing has now become performance art. Except only one side is having fun with it.
