C’mon guys…I like it here. Please don’t make me have to move again. My garage has way too much crap in it to go through that.
Anti-Gay Protest Starts at UNM
An anti-gay church group has apparently rescheduled its planned Santa Fe protest, and they plan to kick off their New Mexico activities at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
Members of the Westboro Baptist Church (ed- sadly, that is not a parody website. they are serious) of Topeka, Kan., recently announced they would picket eight Santa Fe churches that expressed support for a 21-year-old gay man who was severely beaten in February.

The group had planned to picket outside the churches on April 17 and outside City Hall on April 18, but the group has postponed its Santa Fe visit by a week.
According to its Web site, the group will be picketing at UNM on Central and Stanford shortly before noon on April 23. The Santa Fe protests are scheduled for the afternoon of April 23 and for April 24.
The group’s visit was discussed at Wednesday’s Santa Fe City Council meeting.
Councilor Patti Bushee said she hates the publicity being given to the Kansas congregation, but she also said that the city needs to be ready for the visit.
“I hope we are prepared; I know Chief (Beverly) Lennen has been working on it,” Bushee said. Bushee added that she hopes the city’s response is to ignore the group’s “message of hate.”
Councilor David Pfeffer read a statement from the Santa Fe County Republican Party in which the group called the planned protests “disheartening.”
ed - damn, you know you’re an extremist christian group when the republican party is disavowing any association with you
“Any effort by this outside entity to create disorder in our city will likely have the opposite effect than intended,” the statement read. “That is, we more strongly than ever come to the aid and defense of the victims.”
Thanks again, Mr. Hinton, for the link.
