Fascist Phelps not welcome in San Diego
Published Oct 22, 2009 7:58 PM

A small group organized by Kansas-based fascist Fred Phelps appeared in San
Diego on Oct. 16 to spread their message of racism, anti-Semitism and
homohatred. This same group brought the message “He got what he
deserved” to the funeral of gay-bashing victim Matthew Shepard in 1998.
An outpouring of hundreds of counterprotesters gathered in front of the San
Diego City High School. Students played an active role in the protest, with
many same-sex teenage couples holding hands in defiance of the fascists. The
school’s Gay Straight Alliance unfurled pro-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi and
transgender) signs and banners on the hill above the chanting crowd.
