Fascists Successfully Confronted @ Chicago Pride, Part 2
01 Jul 2008
Date Edited: 01 Jul 2008 12:57:25 PM
They dress up their wish that all Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Transgender people be murdered with Biblical quotes like "the wages of sin are death."
GLN and others have counter demonstrated against fascist Street Preachers in past years, but decided that more effective action was needed this year. But just as we were getting ready to deploy our "remedy" to the Preachers, a Midwestern cloud burst again poured buckets of water on the parade and threatened to ruin the whole action.
Fortunately it was a warm rain – everyone was soaked already anyway.
BEFORE . . .
AFTER . . .
A 400-square foot banner eclipses the fascist anti-gay bigots. Bash Back drummers kept up a thunderous pounding and ANSWER chanted endlessly to drown out the "Christian" rants of the Street Preachers behind the banner.
As the rest of the 320-contingent parade went by huge cheers went up for the successful action against the bigots who had for so many years taunted the parade.

* Senator Obama, stating that he opposed equal marriage rights for Lesbians and Gays, infamously said "I do believe that tradition and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."
