Title: JAX LGBTQ Rally :: Support DA School of the Arts :: Matthew Shepard Play
Post by: JC on April 30, 2010, 05:46:39 PM
JAX LGBTQ Rally :: Support DA School of the Arts :: Matthew Shepard Play - A local high school (Douglas Anderson School of the Arts) in Jacksonville is presenting a play about Matthew Shepard this weekend. The nationally known anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church will be protesting Saturday night’s performance 05/01/10 at 6:00pm -7:30pm. Let's drown out intolerance with a message of love. Let's support our Jacksonville youth who are sharing the important real-life story of LGBTQ hate crimes in our country. Please join the ACLU of FL's Northeast Regional Office and LGBTQ activists in a peaceful, counter-protest sending a message that Jacksonville will not tolerate bigotry and hate.

Is a truly tolerant person obliged to tolerate intolerance?

Now there's a question that begs an answer. I am not so tolerant. Being imperfect has it's benefits.

I suppoRt your efforts to drown out the lunatics. Here's hoping for sanity from at least one side of the street.
