This is where my DD works! Pictures Post # 80

My thoughts will be with you. You're such an awesome mom!!
As others have said, your presence is important there for sure, but your best bet is to go perhaps with signs of a more positive nature...to counter the hateful signs and words they will be using. And the most important advice of all is to try to remain calm and silent to their taunting. No matter what hateful things they say, counter it with a quiet, peaceful smile. The last thing you want to do is get into a shouting match with them. You're not likely to change their hateful minds anyhow, and you'll just end up looking as mean and hateful as they are.

Good luck, and again, you're an awesome mom!!!

I saw a very disturbing documentary on him this summer, I had never heard of him...VERY scary group of people. They THRIVE on this stuff, they want confrontation, be careful. I do have this to say. My ex is an evangelist, so I have an undertanding of these kinds of people. With that said, I have ONE thing I always say, and they can't dispute it. How many times does Jesus, the son of God, pure, perfect, right? How many times does HE mention homosexuality in the bible? Guess....33 years of ministry, he NEVER mentions it. DO you think he forgot, he was too busy? I think, if he knew, he only had 33 years to get across his message, knowing everything he says will be forever talked about...it wasn't an oversite. I personally believe, since he never mentions it, it's not a big deal. I have peace about it...nuff said!

Thank you everyone I really appreciate all the support. I have been around a few hateful protests. Every year at Pride, or during some vigil etc...For some reason it doesn't make me angry as much as it makes me incredibly SAD.

Take care of yourself and your DD. If there's a counter-protest you've gotten some great advice on staying calm and non-confrontational.

There was a thread here awhile back about them protesting at a church in the Orlando area and how the church dealt with it. Anyone remember this?
