Westboro Baptist Church in Philadelphia

The Westboro Baptist Church picketed in three spots when they visited Philly, and we were there to greet them at ALL of them. They protested at the American Jewish Museum/Synagogue, the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, and the Electric Factory. Aprox. 30 people gathered outside of the block of the Jewish Musuem to counter-protest, around 20 people outside of the Basilica, and a dozen or so in front ot the Electric Factory. At all the counter-protests some people stopped by, curious what was going on, and ended up joining our counter-protest. We ended up on the news for our counter-protest at the Electric Factory, and were cheered on by every All Time Low fan entering the concert. (One of the band members even came out afterwards I heard, but I wasn't there to meet him). It was a successful day for us, and we definitly had all the support of the people passing by both protests.

I was never taught that being gay was right or good. But I WAS taught that everyone is human and deserves to be treated with respect no matter what.
