"If you're gay, lesbian, or bisexual, would you sacrifice for your trans neighbors and siblings? If you're trans, would you sacrifice for your gay, lesbian, or bisexual neighbors and siblings? It's something worth knowing about yourself and those around you."

Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Phelps Klan treated to humiliation by students, frat in Chicago

by: Pam Spaulding

Thu Mar 12, 2009 at 06:00:00 AM EDT


This time the members of the Westboro Baptist "Church" picked the wrong place to picket. (Chicago Maroon):
Over 100 students gathered on South University Avenue and in Hutchinson Courtyard Monday to demonstrate against six protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) advocating against the University of Chicago, the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS), and the University of Chicago Law School's employment of Barack Obama.  

The WBC protesters arrived at the CTS at noon. Carrying signs reading "God hates the world" and "Bloody Obama," they stood on the corner of East 58th Street and South University Avenue for half an hour. They allowed people to photograph them and held up their signs, smiling. At one point, Shirley Phelps-Roper, WBC's spokeswoman, sang a joyful rendition of "God Hates America."  

...On the eastern side of the quad, students who had been waiting for the group waved signs mocking the WBC's trademark "God Hates Fags" poster. The signs bore slogans such as "God <3's internet porn," "God hates the new Facebook," and "God hates dial-up."

Across the street, the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity brothers lined their porch in bathrobes, awaiting the arrival of the protesters. When they appeared, the brothers stripped off their robes and began dancing to Diana Ross & The Supremes' "I'm Coming Out," Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," and the Weather Girls' "It's Raining Men." The "Tiny Dancer" lyrics "Jesus freaks/out in the streets" elicited a loud cheer from the crowd on the other side of the street.

In general, the atmosphere was festive. Students laughed, joked, took pictures, and danced to Alpha Delt's music.

These kids paid attention
And know how to handle a BOGGART!!

(best clip I could locate)

Riddickulous!!



A typical Phelps picket: 3 little children and 3 adults
OMG, you say, Westboro Baptist Church is coming to town?  Whatever are we going to do?  LETS HAVE A PARTY!

Were those UC kids great, or what?  Special props to the Alpha Delta Phi brothers.

I had no idea that God Hates Figs, too.

The students held a sign reading "Figs Doom Nations" and planted themselves across the street from the WBC, drawing from a Biblical passage in which Jesus disparages a fig tree. "If you need scanty biblical evidence for anything, we've got it," said fourth-year Carmel Levy as he handed out flyers containing biblical citations that read: "Jesus rebuked the fig as an evil abomination" and "God Promises Terrible Vengeance Upon Any Fig-Loving Nation."  

"We just wanted the world to know that God's vengeance doesn't just fall on the gay, but also on the fruit," said fourth-year Max Shron.

 

One of my favorite signs from the counter protesters:



yehaw
bloody brilliant

Try not. Do or do not. There is no try.

This should be the plan at every WBC event.
Have a party with dancing guys.  Perfect music too. This could catch on.

i thought the same thing
the WBC thrives on the hostile, aggressive response they typically encounter.  half-naked, dancing men partying to gay anthems is something they just don't know what to do with.

taking the enemy's words and turning them into a farcical parody is BRILLIANT.  i'd love to see similar counter-protests at all xtian-theocrat-driven gay-rights protests.  they want sodom and gomorrah?  let's show it to them!        

The gays stole my lunch money

Wait, what?
"God hates the world?" what does that even mean? Cripes, these folks sure know how to bring teh crazy.
That being said, any demo where Cthulu's name is invoked is a demo I'm sorry I missed! An excellent response by these folks!  

go ahead and change that number
to read "over $600". . .I donated in honor of these guys. You can too, even if it's 5 bucks. . .the guys ROCKED and deserve the Kudos.

So, donating to the charity is as good as buying them a beer ;) .. maybe.

oh geeez
that was freaking FANTASTIC.

Now the challenge is to continue
This should set a standard as the response to the Frelpseseses.

Hate stops a beating heart.

brought tears to my eyes
to see frat boys sticking it to them & sticking up for us. there is hope.

Protesting military funerals was the best thing WBC could have done for us.
I abhor the thought of a family who is burying their child having to see that filth. On the other hand, WBC targeting straight people too makes all but the most rabid homophobes join our side. When it was just fags that WBC hated, no one paid attention but us. Now that WBC hates soldiers too, large swaths of USAmericans know how vile they are.

Or, those ADPhi guys might just be super-cool. I'll take either one.

Score:
Hyde Park intellectuals 1, Westboro inbred 0.

I Can't Resist
waiting for the first Gandhi gay to let us know how this WASN'T a "non-violent" protest, directly or indirectly.

I think this can be considered a lesson...
A comment made on a forum that I think stands out so well and rings so true that it has to be reproduced here.

Its not that the church has no place for the gay community, its the entire social community that doesn't have place for the despicable behaviour of the church.

I stand up and applaud
Now this, this is creative protest at its finest.  Three cheers to Chi-town!

P.S.  Louise, thanks for showing a clip of my fave HP movie!

P.P.S.  "God hates you!  Repent!"  Um, yeah.  That's quite the sales pitch there.


they're coming to MY school
I am a high school teacher in Maryland and the nut clan are planning to protest my school on March 30th. Any suggestions as to how I should handle this??

Crap. Why are they coming to your school?
Given that they seem to have a max of ten people, I would say to take a leaf from this and other protests.  Just have gobs of students (and faculty, if possible) there in peaceful counter-protest.  I also like the idea of some kind of farcical mocking of the wackos, but that's the performer in me.

[ Parent ]
Awesome!
I love young people!  Look at those guys!  So awesome to see frat boys rocking out to the Supremes, to stick it to the Phelps-psychos.  Nice!

Yes we can!

Watch out
Since the Phelps clan is sue-happy, make sure some of those dancing fraternity brothers are law students.
