		<description>noodlez: &quot;I DONT LIKE THE WAY YOU THANGS FLAUNT THAT NASTYNESS NOR DO I UNDERSTAND WHY WOULD A MAN WANT TO DO THAT WITH ANOTHER MAN.&quot;

I know this is a little late, and the idiot probably won&#039;t see it anyway, but...did it ever occur to that gay men think the same thing about you? They don&#039;t understand how a dude would want to &quot;do that&quot; to a lady, but they don&#039;t find it repulsive or actively try to deny your your basic human rights. Wanna know why? THEY DON&#039;T THINK ABOUT IT. 

Its your own damn fault that all you can see is SEXSEXSEX, and not all of the other wonderful, fulfilling ways in which humans can interact with each other.</description>

		<description>I died on the cross cause the Romans nailed me to it, Mary. Although you are right, poop didn&#039;t have much to do with it... until a little later, that is.</description>

		<description>God bless the Westboro Baptist Church for not backing down in the face of wickedness and Godless adversity. Jesus didn&#039;t die on the cross so you can wallow in your favorite sin like a pig in poop. Choose this day whom you will serve ... God or Satan. If God, then repent.</description>

		<description>Staffer-  I think you can pick up a ready to grow batch from the Home Depot off of Minn. Ave. They come with their own pot. 

Noodlez- you self-hating, limp-dick basturd.  Tell the truth- your wife wasn&#039;t mad at you because of the discussion, it was really your &quot;performance&quot; or lack there of.  Your stupidity seems to be confusing you again.  So you hate gays because of your fascination/disgust with male to male intercourse, then I would suggest you stop thinking about it so much.  Better yet, return the videos.</description>

		<description>AS A NATIVE WASHINGTONIAN IM STILL UNDER THE BELIEF THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT TO A VOTE BY THE PEOPLE OF THIS CITY JUST LIKE EVERY WHERE ELSE IN THIS COUNTRY. IM DISAPPOINTED ABOUT GAYTANIA AND HIS PROCESS INVOLVING THIS ISSUE.

IM TOTALLY AGAINST HOMOSEXUALITY AMONG MALES. MY WIFE TRIED TO CONVINENCE ME THROUGH A HEATED DISCUSSION ITS MORE ABOUT LOVE THAN THE ACTUAL ACT-(WHATEVER). TO ME ITS JUST NOT LOGICAL FOR TWO MEN TO BE THAT WAY.

		<description>What can you do when Rev. Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church come to your town?

The Westboro Baptist Church has been engaging in its ridiculous funeral protesting campaigns for years. Why do they do this? Above everything else, they are out there acting like idiots day after day because they get attention. They&#039;ve become celebrities: they&#039;re the Idiot Sign-Carrying Protesters We Love To Hate. But they don&#039;t care that they look like fools to the rest of the world.

The scenario for the WBC can best be described as &quot;cult mind control,&quot; though I don&#039;t want to get into the endless debate over &quot;cults&quot; and &quot;mind control&quot; here. Suffice to say, they&#039;ve convinced themselves that they really are on a crusade against Satan and the Devil and his minions – namely, all of us who are out there laughing at them and pointing at them. Consider this from their perspective: if you honestly believed you were entering the realm of the Devil and his minions, would you expect them to do anything but taunt you, laugh at you, tell you you&#039;re a fool, and shout hateful things at you? Of course not: after all, this is the Devil we&#039;re talking about here. So when the WBC gets into news headlines, and onto TV news, and on blogs and Web sites and Wikipedia articles, they know they&#039;ve scored a big victory because they&#039;ve gotten what they really want: attention and notice.

What can we do about WBC and their lunacy? The best course of action is probably the hardest one to take: IGNORE THEM. When they come to your town, don&#039;t organize a big, loud counter-protest and out-shout them. Instead, simply ignore them. Walk by them, say &quot;good morning,&quot; go on your way, and act as though they&#039;re not there. I have little doubt that after no more than half an hour of standing in the street, shouting at no one and receiving no attention at all, the Phelps clan will behave like the cowards they are. Namely, like last autumn&#039;s leaves, they will dry up and blow away.</description>

		<description>Is Fred actually going to make it?  Last I heard he wasn&#039;t actually protesting anymore, too sick with cancer or what not.  As a Kansan, I&#039;ve counter protested Phelps a couple of times, so good luck to those who can make it tomorrow.

Keep in mind they also are anti-Semitic (you could point out that Jesus was Jewish), anti-Catholic, anti-Swedish, and anti-Irish.  You could have a field day with those.</description>

		<description>Crikey, Jesus is a bit out-of-date isn&#039;t he? God is gender-neutral these days baby, don&#039;t forget, gay-Jesus, misogyny and homophobia go hand-in-hand, and along with racism, give us the unholy trinity.

Presumably there will be plenty of signs on hand saying &#039;God hates homophobes&#039;, or is that just too bloody obvious to even say on a sign?</description>

		<description>I think a good poster for the anti Phelp protest is a drawing of Phelps on all fours with his daughter behind him holding on to his hips, on her knees between his legs. You can then superimpose a photo of him and her onto the drawings, with a caption coming from his daughters mouth saying, &quot;I Like Daddy&#039;s Position On Marriage&quot;</description>

		<description>I would love to dress up as the devil, and welcome them to our land. I would hand out phamplets with a map of hell, including directions how to get to the local burger joints. I would invite every gay person I know  to walk around hand in hand, with &quot;You&#039;re Already In Hell&quot; t-shirts.</description>

		<description>2 signs you can make to respond to the &quot;B!tch Burger&quot; sign...

1. Would you like fries with that burger?

2. Picture of Homer Simpson with the caption &quot;mmm...burger!&quot;</description>

		<description>I just want to say that I was having one of the worst days where everything has gone wrong.  I got on The Sexist, and these comments made me laugh out loud.  Thanks, everyone.</description>

In some ways you are right.  They are attention whores who get off on being the center of attention.  Perhaps they would like to be held in esteem, but being notorious will suffice.  (They&#039;re like Marion Barry in that regard.)  I say just enjoy it.  They are rather ridiculous.  Or hold a Phelps-a-Thon to raise money.

		<description>WBC came to protest in my small town twice last year.  Decent sized antiprotests sprung up and were positive and great (they focused on inclusion rather than just shaming Phelps and the WBC).

But I&#039;m convinced that the only way they&#039;d stop is if they simply had no impact, which is what counterprotests are.  If a WBC protest happened in the woods and nobody cared, would it make a sound?

The second time they came by, they planned to set up in front of a high school, which was pretty egregious.  I considered the legality of getting a couple hundred people to sit on the sidewalk, so Phelps&#039; followers either had to protest elsewhere or physically interfere (which, as they do, would be instantly followed by arrests and lawsuits).</description>

		<description>John is the disciple whom I love, Dad. We&#039;re getting gay-married tomorrow  and there&#039;s nothing you can do about it! I&#039;ll be converting water to wine at my wedding, since you won&#039;t pay for a caterer.</description>

		<description>I told you you couldn&#039;t leave the Last Supper until you finished your figs.  No water to wine tricks for you for a month.  You and your friends will have to buy your booze like the rest of the mortals.

I hate when 12 dudes corrupt my only Son.</description>

		<description>They&#039;re going to be in Philadelphia at Temple in April to protest the Laramie Project. I would love to get something like this together. I was planning on doing something, but this is definitely the way to go. Like the bible says, an eye for an eye, or in this case absurdity for the absurd.</description>
