I still say that we should hold a counter protest, I still think this should happen. I will be there anyway taking as photos, with my camera setting on average, that will give me 1,700 photos I can take. i plan to get as many faces of these bigots as i can. i would love to see a counter protest…

I just read the following post on q-notes (posted today, quite recently). Looks like we will see you on the 24th.

“Palmquist also said that a counter protest of the March 3 “marriage rally” planned by anti-gay groups Return America and NC4Marriage isn’t “an effective use of our resources.” He said EqualityNC would be “working closely with progressive faith leaders to ensure the media hears from people of faith who oppose discrimination.”

He added, “We encourage supporters who want to have the most impact on stopping the marriage discrimination amendment and passing the School Violence Prevention Act to join us at our Day of Action on Tuesday, March 24. The most effective tool we have for persuading legislators to stand for equality is conversations between legislators and LGBT and allied constituents like those that will happen at Day of Action.”

Are there plans for a counter protest on the same day? I am coordinating people to caravan out there; we just need to know a time and place for our voices to be heard.

Traditional marriage? Do you mean polygamy, as in the Bible, or Barefoot-pregnant-and-in-the-kitchen at too many people believe in?

Activist judges? Like the Warren Court’s Brown case, which threw out segregation, a decision now universally seen as both right and good.

Yes, how true, this is why they always have the upper hand, they are more organize then we ever hope to be and they never stop, but we never seen to be able to carry on the fight, because after the first protest or event then we just don’t care as much after that. we flake out.. This is why we are not making any true headroom.

So much for the seperation of Church and State!!!
As a resident of the Triad area I am familiar with the bigotry and hatred Baity spews forth from his pulpit and into the streets.
This man and his followers are truly frightening in the influence they have as they spread discord and anger in their wake all in the name of Christ.
