Fayetteville High School Unites Against Bigots
25 Nov 2004
Modified: 07:51:12 PM
clickheels.jpgFred Phelp's Baptist Congregation showed up on Thursday to protest the Fayetteville High School Gay Straight Alliance on Thursday.They numbered a little over ten. Hundreds of students and community members poured onto the lawn of the school to counterprotest, proving that nothing can unite a community like an ignorant bigot. The crowd was very loud and someone from the back of the crowd threw some projectiles at the bigots. One woman reported being hit wiht a rock and a corporate reporter was struck with a plastic bottle.

BMONK has compiled an excellent short video of the afternoon.

16 Nov 2004

URGENT: ACT NOW (!) TO UNHIJACK THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
09 Nov 2004

Please spread the word, pitch in some volunteer time, help recruit volunteers with legal and/or computer expertise, and consider donating money.
