I want to thank everyone who signed this petition and added your words of support. Due to the overwhelming response recieved by the Million Fag March I have decided to cancel my own protest. On MArch 31, 2008 the people of Kansas came out in force and showed Phelps what real love looks like. After such an amazing display my protest would be barely a drop in bucket. However I could not be happier with how well the message has been sent. Thank you again, and I hope to see you at next years Million Fag MArch.





I am sure we have all heard of the horrific protests staged by the Topeka-based Westboro Baptist Church. They are the ones who have children holding signs at the funerals of war heroes that say such hateful things as "God Hates Fags".

                    stop hate

At the trial of one of Matthew Shepard's attackers, a group of Matthews friends who call themselves "Angel Action" decided to do something about the hateful group. They dressed as Angels with huge wings and blocked the church protesters from view. They stood silently through the whole thing until the Westboro church members actually gave up and left.

They showed that these mean spirited biggots are no better than any other bully. I think we need to take a stand and show them that the same laws which protect their hate mongering also protect the rest of us. 

               Angel Action Protest

I propose this... Let's take our message to them. Let's make signs, dress like the angels of "Angel Action", paint ourselves as rainbows, or anything, and take this to their doorstep.

They have willingly traveled the world to spread hate, we need to take a stand on their doorstep. I would like to hold our own protest across the street, or within the legal limits, from their church. We have every legal right to do so. The only way to stop a bully is to stand up to them.

We need to show them we are not going to put up with their nonsense anymore. It may be too late to set this up for the anniversary of Matthew Shepard's death, but I think that this message can make as big an impact on any day of the year. As of now the plan is for

I have made this flyer in an effort to reach those not on the net. if you can copy and paste this please do so, or you can follow the link below. Also have them printed up and post them in your local stores, gay clubs, anywhere you think it might help. These people have already shown themselves to be cowards. I believe that if we get enough people and maybe do this more than once they will take their hate mongering to a country which tolerates them. Thank you to all who have taken the time to read this petition, you are all Angels in Action!
