From the New York Times:
"In Las Vegas, the comedian Wanda Sykes surprised a crowd of more than 1,000 rallying outside a gay community center by announcing that she is gay and had wed her wife in California on Oct. 25. Ms. Sykes, who divorced her husband of seven years in 1998, had never publicly discussed her sexual orientation but said the passage of Proposition 8 had propelled her to be open about it."
The protest on Saturday was really inspiring and encouraging, but there's more to do. Tonight at RCC the Westboro Baptist Church is coming to picket the college's production of The Laramie Project. They will undoubtedly hold their usual signs saying "God Hates Fags" and "Matthew Shepherd: 10 Years in Hell."
Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate
That's all they do! Their Web site, www.godhatesfags.com, contains endless sentences beginning with "God hates..." Did you know God hates Mexico? God hates cops? God hates YOU? God loves cheesecake, but hates the way it makes him feel after he eats a whole slice? What a crazy religion!
People are planning on blocking them out, holding signs that inspire love instead of hate, and be the buffer between the WBC's hate and all those who are going to watch a tragic play based on the life and death of a real human. I'm planning on going around 6, so if anybody wants to go, let me know! My number is nine five one, 236, six three one five.
