[color=royal blue]I'm wondering what people know or think about Fred Phelps, who basically promotes homophobia / hate, etc.
godhatesfags.com
He and his ppl are coming to my campus tonite to protest the fact that Freshman and other students have been required to read
The Laramie Project, and that the play is being shown on campus too. (About Matthew Shepherd)
Dunno if there's already been discussion about this topic before. But one of my friends on my floor, Matt, is basically organizing the counter protest that a lot of us are going to be attending. Some will be dressed as angels, which was also done at either Matthew's funeral or some memorial service.... like a human chain to keep him away from the respectful people.
Anyway. My friend Matt is gay and apparently Phelps is well known in the gay community. Matt's done a lot of work with the gay community on campus as well as following national events.... Our whole floor is going out to support Matt's counter protest. My uber best friend Matthew is also really upset about Phelps coming, he's big into politics and philosophy and stuff. (I know, confusing, a lot of Matthews.....)
Anyway. Just wondering what everyone thinks and why. Touchy subject around here recently, so I thought I'd bring it up to another world of people.[/color]
