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.
