(Altered slightly from original Daily Kos article. Sorry if little things slip) Unfortunately, this isn't going to be a hugely substantial article, and I apologize for that. I'm more relaying what I've heard about, and figured that letting. Also forgive the relative roughness of this; I'm not quite used to the whole "public announcement" business. For those of you/us who are unaware as to who Fred Phelps and the Westboros Baptist Church are, I will refer you to stories posted here by [http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/6/19/744603/-For-Jews-everywhere,-Id-like-to-Thank-Fred-Phelps-for-adding-us-to-the-List Mikey], and [http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/2/6/693836/-Fred-Phelps-targets-High-School,-Students-Shout-them-Down. Reepicheep]. If you look through the Kos archives, or across the web, you can see many other examples of the hatred and intolerance put forth by this reactionary group. I will also direct you to [http://natephelps.com/10801.html an article by Nate Phelps], who talks about his father's bigotry and intolerance, and very aptly describes what this person is putting into this world. As stated in the intro, on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009, at Wrigley Field, Chicago, members of the Westboros Baptist Church will be protesting a concert put on by Mr. Elton John. This sort of bigotry is, unfortunately, permitted under our constitutional rights; however, it is also within our rights to make sure that such speech is given an appropriate and civil response. At 6:30 to 7:30 PM (US Central Time), a counter protest is being planned. A grand display of human sympathy and tolerance would go a long way to making sure that this sort of hatred does not take root in my city. I will add in more information as I become aware of it, but feel free to post anything that you feel would be useful for people or would be important to know. I'll be sure to add to the article and properly attribute it. —- For those who need help finding it, the address for Wrigley Field is: 1060 W Addison St Chicago, IL 60613 A event listing organizing for the protest on Facebook is located [http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/event.php?eid=87431994123&ref=share here]. It might be helpful for people trying to find rides or transportation, or friends who will also be attending the event. I am including a link to the [http://www.transitchicago.com/ Chicago Transit Association] for those of us who will be using public transit to get there. Because of the time frame of this (mid evening), I am also going adding a link to the [http://chicago.metromix.com/restaurants Chicago Restaurants & Dining Page] for people who would be looking for dinner afterward. Have fun, and remember: bigotry cannot stand the light of tolerance and respect for humanity.
