An anti-gay protest from the Westboro Baptist Church at the massive comic convention Comic-Con has been muffled by a humorous counterprotest.

The Westboro Baptist church has gained notoriety for anti-gay and anti-government protests, picketing the funerals of US soldiers and celebrating the deaths of Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger.

But they met their match with convention-goers at the massive science fiction/comics event in San Diego, California, who countered the demonstration with witty signs, lurid costumes and mocking chants.







There was a sign that said "Apocalypse Coming? Don't worry, the Winchester Brothers Have it Covered", but I could not find a picture.





































"What do we want? Gay sex! When do we want it? Now!" shouted members of the crowd.

The Westboro Baptist Church members soon left.......

They protested a High School in my town, and were at my sister's graduation at KU. So, yeah - no target is too low. They're not a church, they're a cult of personality and a PR machine. I found the humorous take on the counter protest very appropriate - it gives them too much credit to take them seriously ;-)

I'm sorry you had to witness them in person. But this was a great way to deal with them.
