WBC protested the Kevin Smith movie Red State.


Smith helped orginize counter protests- where humorous and pro-LGBT signs were held up.
My question is this- what would your counter protest sign be?
I want to wear kitty ears and a tail and hold one that says "p***y Tastes Great!"

I can't think of anything clever at the moment. xp Possibly "You keep God; we've got Dumbledore and Gandalf."


One of the best ones I've seen, though:

I saw one at an anime convention that was made in protest when the WBC showed up that said, 'Jesus was nailed to a cross: Thor has a hammer,' that I thought was pretty funny.

If I were to come up with an original one though, I'd have to say that I like, 'God is tired of your bad song parodies.'

Mine would say something silly. I can't think of anything at the moment that isn't cliche. I'm rather sleepy at the moment.

Oh! I got one, "God hates abused punctuation." It's like whenever some religious dolt wants to make a point they love to underline , bold, CAPITALIZE, AND DO ALL THREE WITH LOTS AND LOTS OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or, "So if homosexuality is a sin, I can't eat pork?"

I might go with:

"God hates clean-shaven men. Lev 19:27"

Let Phelps think about that while he's lathering up Sunday morning before church.

I'm actually wondering what would happen if people didn't pay any attention to people when they picketed, and acted like they weren't even there. Might be interesting.

I have been wondering that too. Like, just have some sort of event close to WBC but ignore them.


Edit: Like that South Park episode were Cartman thinks he is dead because everyone is ignoring him.

Yeah, just ignore them. Might be cool if they left faster because they weren't getting a reaction.

Eh, I assume they would stay their whole allotted time.

True. Although, it might be cool to see the looks on their faces when they realize noone's listening.

I would probably make sign specifically to stand next to one of the protesters with that said something along the lines of "Lol, this guy. --------->".

I think ignoring bullies encourages them- they think they can get away with it and since it doesn't treat the root cause of their behavior, it just keeps going.

This. They might leave one person alone, but it won't stop them completely and just continue what they are doing to another person. It isn't really stop them.

As for a protest sign, I can't think of one, but I thought this was a funny way of handling them-

I remember when one of the "God hates ____" churches came to campus and the LGBT organization was doing a bake sale on the same day so they gave the bigots free cookies. One of the funniest moments of my life was when the bigots realized who had made the cookies and when they looked over at the table, a couple of the guys at it winked and waved flirtatiously at them. Even the campus police burst out laughing, it was a work of art.

Damn it, I wish they'd do another bake sale now...they made damn good cookies.

They'll just find a new target once they get bored anyway.

I think we should ridicule them, or even better, try to educate the bigots. c:
