You may remember their signs. They look like this:
Not so nice, not so great. Downright crappy and offensive.
So when some people decided to counter-protest the church’s first protest since Phelps’ death, it turned out rather … well, wonderful. Instead of sinking to his level by picketing them with hate, these folks came out and gave the world a massive example of how to fight bigotry with compassion instead of with more hate.
Have a look at their signs below. Kindness ftw.
What a wonderful way to counter-protest a hateful protest: with messages of condolence, hope, and awesomeness. I hope more people take note of this.
Here’s a video report on the protests, too. I love what the guy says at 0:46.
