Equality House, the rainbow-colored non-profit LGBT center stationed across the street from the infamous Westboro Baptist Church, has been known to kill their Fag-Hating neighbors with kindness — a 5-year -old girl sold lemonade for peace over the summer, which naturally led the WBC to call her a “fag enabler” — but come next month they’ll be killing ’em with sequins: the Equality House is planning a Drag Walk-a-Thon.
Yesterday, EH posted on its Facebook:
On October 26th Planting Peace will be hosting the first annual Equality House drag themed walk-a-thon! We are inviting you, your family, and your friends to all come out and parade around the Westboro Baptist Church with us whether in costume or not but either way raising money for the charity and looking fabulous during the whole event!! If you or a team would like to sign up or receive more information please send us a Facebook message!!
Will the Phelpses dare to bring it to the floor? Will Shirley Phelps-Roper finally experience the magical kiss of makeup upon her hollow, hateful cheeks? Will Rev. Fred Phelps tuck what exists of his manhood and throw on a sensible one-piece — or a daring bikini (gasp!) — for the swimsuit category we’re assuming will be part of this ball?
Probably no fucking way, but these questions and more will be answered October 26 at the Equality House’s First Annual(?) Drag Walk-A-Thon. They’re hoping to get legendary supermodel of the world RuPaul to host — what say you Ru?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

It is time we, the LGBT community and those who support us, that we started giving the Phelps clan some payback. For too many years, they have assaulted decency with their pickets and hate filled statements. I hope this event is a huge success and I wish I could be there with my LGBT brothers and sisters.

The interesting thing is, if you ever see any of Westboro’s men in the picket lines they are oddly neutered ineffectual males.
My guess is, just like the way the Mormon Polygomous compounds don’t like any other of the other men to compete with the leaders, Fred Phelps doesn’t like any men who speak up around him.

Too colourful. I don’t see myself in outfits with busy patterns and shit. I guess it’s probably because I’ve never been to a Gay Pride before. I don’t think I will, seeing that the only thing it’s filled with is some naked dudes. I like that, but it gets a bit too much sometimes. I can’t wait for the day when fred phelps DIES. That would bring so much light to my world!!!

Rubbing their noses in the gayness makes my day.

@Cam: Except for Steve Drain, who’s a woofy Bear. 🙂

@Taliaferro: Payback should be a firebomb. I wholly condone killing them. The person who does it will get money for their legal battle from me too.
Tim
@Dxley: Hmmm – I guess Pride must be different where you are. There’s certainly no nudity at all in my town, and very little anywhere else I’ve gone. I’m rather disappointed when I see gay parents, gay professionals in suits and ties, and self-consciously ‘normal’ people. It’s why I didn’t go to Pride in Toronto for 5 years – those images horrified and traumatized me. 🙂
Taliaferro
@Tim: Hmm, then there are those of us who find a man in a suit and tie incredibly sexy and attractive. Sorry you were traumatized; perhaps your mother was frightened by a CEO when pregnant with you?

That’s a day’s drive for me and sounds like wicked fun!

@Taliaferro:WOW this is just like Genesis 19 Gen 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter: Get ready for some fire and brimstone.

This laboured “Woah! I’m a whacky gay man!” writing-style is a bit boring, Queerty.

I don’t believe in violence or wishing anyone harm or death. But, I won’t shed a tear either when any of them die.
Jacob
that Fagbug reminds me of Michael Moores Sodomobile back In 1999 which counter protested the WBC.

I am trying to remember if the Christian right was this vindictive in the eighties and nineties?

Would it not be GRAND IF MAXIMUS AMOUNTS of GLUTEUS were shown framed in BLACK LEATHER WITH BEDAZZELED COD PIECES?

I look terrible in a dress, but I would gladly join the protest. Anything to upset that arch homophobe closet queen the ReverEND Phred Phelps.

I wish I had the time and money to fly out there and give Phelps and Westboro what they deserve, a good, old fashioned, love in.

Equality House “a Drag Walk a Ton ” in front of the Westboro perverted church you disgust me. I think it is imaginative and I wish you much success. Westboro will be stewing in its
own fire & brimstone perversion. Give it to them…

Hey, I’m Ryan aka @QueerAsFaith. Glad to see anything good like this happening at the Equality House. I love the way free speech works both ways in here in America. I hope you are able to raise a nice amount of money for the charity event.
Much love,
Ryan Nix @QueerAsFatih of the Queer as Faith Blog , Hugs

@2eo: You have undoubtedly put yourself on a surveillence list somewhere by your disgusting statement. You stoop to their level, if you really are . You are either a troll paid to make the gay community look like terrorists, or you are just extremely stupid and insensitive. In either case you have been flagged for your post advocating murder.
Redpalacebulleaglesox
dbmyers I also flagged that post but I think only one flag per post is permitted. We had much of the same in the Vietnam Peace Movement,where the FBI planted agitators to stir up trouble. Like this troll, they were usually found out and reported to local law enforcement, who were only too happy to deal with them.
