Sunday, March 30th 2008 Topeka held the first "Million Fag March". It was a protest against Fred Phelps and his hate mongering church. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the Phelps here is a very quick rundown:
•He is a racist
•He hates gay people
•He hates America
•He hates our soldiers
•He probably hates you
They get headlines by protesting funerals of our soldiers and more recently Heath Ledger. The million fag march was started from a friend's brother, Chris Love. He had gotten fed up with all this nonsense and wanted to put together a protest against them.
He gathered over 400 people from all sexualities and races and we marched around a park near their church. Freedom of speech is what protects their right to do what they do, and this protest was not trying to make them stop. It was simply a protest saying "these are the people you hate and there are more of us than of you."
