A Kansas-based evangelical group plans to picket Englesby Intermediate School [in Dracut, MA] June 6 after a student won an essay contest writing about openly gay comedienne Ellen DeGeneres.The Westboro Baptist Church website maintains an extensive list of sites they're going to picket. The school mentioned in the article is not on their list; however, they have a number of other sites in Massachusetts they're planning on picketing June 4-6.A flier from the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka [home of GodHatesFags.com] singles out a Women in History essay written by a 12-year-old student who chose DeGeneres as her subject. The invective-laden leaflet includes a photo of the Englesby School and a grotesque devil. The diatribe attacks the staff, labeling it a “homo-fascist regime,” among other things.

ChaliceChick might not like it, but UUs from all over the Pacific Central District will be there to counter Rev. Phelps when he comes to Tracy, California to protest two high school graduation ceremonies because the schools allow Gay Straight Alliances to exist there.
Prepared for a shock?
I'm OK with that.
As long as they aren't doing it from the pulpit on Sunday morning.
