It now seems that the plans have been finalized and things are good to go for the Million Fag March. You can find all of the details here. The March is scheduled for Sunday, March 30 at 11:00am. Attendees are to meet up at Gage Park in Topeka, KS.

Please attend if you are able and contribute to the cause if you are not. The Westboro Baptist Church is a vile, hateful, bigotted organization and it is way past time that an event like this took place in their own backyard, so to speak.

Our local paper wrote a pretty good article here about the MFM as well.

Hope to see you all there!
