Anti-Gay Protest at San Diego High School: Part 2

On October 16, 2009, the Westboro Baptist Church, an independent church commonly recognized as a hate group, boycotted against San Diego High School's GSA (Gay and Straight Alliance) club.

La Jolla Country Day School's own GSA, in alliance with coordinators at San Diego High School, organized a group of Country Day students to attend the counter-protest (bucking the Westboro Baptist Church).

Palette staff member Katrina Ilich ('10), senior Taylor Golia and senior Austin Chen were in attendance to document the proceedings.

Here, they interview LJCDS students and teachers.

@trifulquita15 and by hating, u sin, good for u.

[trifulquita15]

you hate the bible

we hate the sin

[tnable182]

although i disagree with WBC extreme and hateful style i will put this into perspective.

break down of WBC group:

small group (minority)- check

expressing their views- check

obviously oppressed by majority- check

political correct- denied

Result for WBC= you are bigots you are wrong. you are dumb. you are denied your "human right". you are denied entitlement disguised as "freedom".

the double standards are sensitivity (political correctness) are screwing over our country.. we are goin down

@loroanno fact: so do straight people

@nyctreeman it hurts your argument that the manifesto you speak of was a total satire of what right-wing extremists seem to fear happening. he even says it's just bullshit lunacy in the 1st paragraph. the paragraph that is mysteriously absent whenever right-wing bigots present it

@nyctreeman You have got to be kidding me, did you not read the disclaimer??

"This essay is an outré, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage, on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor."

[nyctreeman]

I agree with the WBC on almost all of their points, and I'm just an average middle class guy who believes in the Bible and God. Read the Gay Manifesto:

(satire? oddly most of it has come true)

We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your seminaries,...etc etc. (see it under "Michael Swift's Gay Manifesto (google it)
