What Community Looks Like

In fall of 2007, the infamous Westboro Baptist Church (also known as the God Hates Fags church, or the people who protest soldier's funerals) came to my hometown of Frederick, MD to protest in front of a local church known for it's acceptance of the Gay community. The racist, sexist, homophobic, and otherwise ignorant group of roughly 8-10 of the church members (with their young children in tow) arrived only to be not so warmly welcomed by an outraged group of several hundred counter-protesters. This short film documents the days events.

    • Nice story! the only reason being gay isn't cool in the bible is because it doesn't promote the species/ civilization because it doesn't make use of every single person as baby making tools. to me thats ok for back then and it made sense that when they were trying to populate the earth they would include some tips in the handbook (bible), but now we have plenty of people so that theory is irrelevant and people really need to relax the get with the times
