direct protest as opposed to defensive picketing wherever he and his backwards-ass clan have chosen to offend.

We support the idea (and we bet Romaine'll be there!), but we would like to point out that one of the reasons places like Kansas are called "fly-over states" is because those of us from more fun, less bigoted, higher-property-value Blue States tend never to want to land there for any reason except engine failure.  And we know the bastards deserve to be faced with an army of screaming queens carrying torches and signs that say "God Hates Ig'nunt Old Poltergeisty-Lookin Men."  But the Westboro Baptist Church comprises less than 100 members, most of whom are part of Phelps' immediate family, so this is kind of like giving back exactly the sort of large-scale attention he craves for his tiny, lunatic fringe movement.  We're not even sure there are a million out-n-proud gays in the Plains States (are we naive?) so this march is going to require a pretty well-coordinated bussing effort from the Blue States if it's ever going to work.

Also, just to be punctuation nags, could they maybe nix the problematizing quotation marks on their Facebook page (i.e. Million "Fag" March, and "a peaceful 'benefit' for...").  If it's a fag march call it a fag march, and bus in some fags. Don't get all wishy-washy on us.

Anyway, we'll be there "in spirit."
