Today Westboro Baptist Church staged 5 or 6 protests throughout the Phoenix, Arizona area. The Mill Avenue Resistance, HERO, and other organizations staged counter-protests. Embedded with particular secular groups in the area, I went along with the observe like a good anthropologist.

It wasn't altogether that enlightening. Except perhaps the amazing counter-protest that involve 200+ people at the high school. Most of them students from said school. I got to talk to journalism students, sociology students, and others who came to witness the crazy.

This sort of venomous bigotry is just ... absurd.

People with us carried large American flags, rainbow colored flags, ... the Phelps never stayed more than 30-45 minutes in any one location making them a traveling circus.

The protested the Germans, the Finns, the Sweeds, that High School (I still don't know why) and finally they hit up that play.
