This is the first vanity I have posted. I need some help from some of you really clever thinkers there.
We have an active Gay Straight Alliance Club which has succeeded in pressuring a high school math teacher to resign because of a private comment that teacher made at school regarding his views of homosexuality. I have made my views known in a column I write for our local paper that teachers ought not be gagged, especially in private conversations that either were accidentally overhead or deliberately set up by an activist (I'm not sure which happened). Anyway, the damage is done and the kids are feeling mighty proud of themselves for destroying a teacher's career. They are now gunning for others and pressuring all teachers to put up gay support signs in their rooms.
That being the case, we now have received word that the "Reverend" Fred Phelps' church is planning to drop by our community on the day of our graduations at the two high schools and demonstrate against the gay agenda. For those who don't know this "gentleman", his church likes to demonstrate with signs like "God hates all fags" and "Fags are going to hell" in-your-face protests.
The kids at our schools don't need this kind of notoriety. Most of them are just trying to get through school, keep their heads down, and enjoy their graduations.
I am opposed to the gay agenda and we in the community are fighting against this bullying by the Gay Straight Alliance but someone like Phelps will only hurt our cause. So what I am asking is some ideas for counter signs to demonstrate against Phelps without supporting homosexuality. I can think of serious ones, but I am hoping some of you can come up with some clever ones that will make people laugh. I think we need a light-hearted approach on this serious subject and I am lousy at comedy--at least the intentional kind.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I am hoping to organize a group of people to display counter signs to Phelps and let him know that his hatred isn't the answer. Yet I don't want to be construed as in support of the homosexuals.
In advance, thanks much.
That said, Phelps is a sicko....
"The Gay Agenda is Not Healthy, and Neither Is Phelps'"!
"The Gay Agenda And the Phelps Agenda - Two Sides of the Same Counterfeit Coin".
I say "counterfeit" because even if a person quotes scripture or uses the name of God, it doesn't necessarily mean he or she is really trying to serve God, or that his/her actions are pleasing to God.
What is Phelps' motive? If he has sincere motives, he's okay. But considering the horrible way he presents his message, his "God Hates Fags" crap, I doubt his motive has the slightest tinge of sincerity to either please God or help others.
Some may consider me arrogant to say this, but look at the man. No need to skirt around the obvious.
