Geaux God of Compassion! Protester outnumbered 500-1!
~The Protester, (at right) Anthony Battaglia, of First Baptist Church in Gonzales, discusses God and homosexuality from a spiritual point of view Thursday with several hundred people who gathered at Dutchtown High School evening to counter a threat made by Westboro Baptist Church, of Topeka, Kan., to protest the school's production of 'The Laramie Project,' a play that tells the story of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student who was brutally beaten in Laramie by two locals later convicted in his death. Westboro Baptist also picketed Matthew Shepard’s funeral with signs that read: “Matthew is burning in Hell.”
Additionally, The group made it to Canada in August 2008, where they picketed the funeral of a young man who was the victim of a brutal murder on a Greyhound bus, (Sliced and Diced by a Crazy God Man I say) which was national news in that country. Authorities there reportedly tried to prevent the group from entering their country, but the WBC claims it was able to evade Canadian border patrol agents to stage the protest.
