HATEMONGER FRED PHELPS HARANGUES SAN DIEGO
Can we organize a group to get to one of these support rallies in opposition to the Fred Phelps garbage? I would like to send a message to the University that a USD contingent will be fighting for the rights espoused in their teachings for dignity and respect for all people...
Controversial pastor Fred Phelps and members of his congregation commonly protest against homosexuality and often picket funerals of soldiers and those who have died of AIDS. The church’s most high-profile protest came at the 1998 funeral of Matthew Shepard, a University of Wyoming student who was killed because he was gay. Congregants gathered outside the church held up signs saying “No Fags in Heaven” and “God Hates Fags.”
Fred Phelps and his hatemongers have chosen a list of protest sites in our town, one of which is San Diego High School. “WBC will be around and about because the local High School thinks it is soooo cool to be fags,” reports the WBC website. “And [they] no doubt just love Matthew Sheperd.” The church’s “Quit Telling Kids it’s OK to be Fags” demonstration will take place from 2:10 P.M. - 3:00 P.M.
Other WBC protests are are scheduled to take place that same day between 12 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. at six other locations throughout San Diego county. These locations include San Diego Jewish Publications (12:30 P.M - 1:00 P.M.), Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego (1:15 P.M. - 1:45 P.M.), United Jewish Federation of San Diego County (1:15 P.M. - 1:45 P.M.), Jewish Family Service of San Diego Turk Family Center (3:20 P.M. - 3:50 P.M.), Chabad at La Costa (5:30 P.M. - 6 P.M.), and the Congregation Dor Hadas (7 P.M. - 7:30 P.M.). While WBC members have protested at Jewish institutions over the years, such institutions were not a major focus for the group until April 2009. Since then, WBC has targeted dozens of Jewish institutions around the country, from Israeli consulates to synagogues to Jewish community centers.
