Queer Counter-Protest Outnumbers Westboro Baptist Church 100 to 1
Hundreds of protesters converged in Midtown yesterday to form a 'Queer Bloc' and counter-protest the Westboro Baptist Church with Bash Back! NYC. The crowd was 200+ strong before WBC arrived. Another few dozen protesters with the NYC Anonymous group, MotherFuckery, joined the counter-protest in front of the Marriott Marquis hotel as well.
After about an hour of dancing to music, making signs and chanting; a measly two picketers from the Westboro Baptist Church arrived with homophobic signs. The 200+ queers and allies quickly surrounded them, forcing the NYPD to create a second set of barricades around them with officers in between. All the silly string, glitter and rainbow flags must have been too gay of a sight because the WBC packed up after 20 minutes, cutting the picket short by 40 minutes.
Omg this looks fun. We really need larger queer blocs at Pride marches here in Manila. :O
