While Stumbling this evening I came across the web site for the Million Fag March. This is a peaceful assembly of gay and straight people alike, united against the hatred and bigotry of Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.
The March (MFM) will take place at 11:00AM March 30 at the Westboro Baptist Church. The address is 3701 SW 12th St
Topeka, KS 66604.
William and I are planning on attending and encourage our readers to do the same and to spread the word about this event. We live in Topeka and regularly see the hatred and intolerance spread by the Phelps and the apathy of most of the community to do anything about it. I hope that you can join the assembly on March 30. Put it on your calendars!
The answer is yes. And the answer should be yes. We could always wear individual protests on our uniforms but I bet some Nazi (pardon the inappropriate pun) at the USOC would think that in bad taste. Still a “Free Tibet” logo (is there one?) or banner across an athletes back when they cross the line or stand on a podium would go a long way in putting to shame the Chinese. I can’t imagine what their reaction would be.
Winning is enough of a shame too if you are prejudice so if someone could get a Tibetan NOT on the Chinese team to win something it would be great. Another Jesse Owens, I’d dare say.
