Shmurf and I (accidentally) organized the biggest gay-rights protest that has ever happened in the QC area!

When we got to school today, there were about 10 of the GOD HATES FAGS people protesting in front, so we went to go yell at them. Then our friends walked out of class and their friends, etc. till we had MORE THAN 80 STUDENTS CHEERING FOR GAY RIGHTS! We ended up with food, drinks, music, and signs. It was like a giant gay fiesta! We were all smiles and boogying down and cracking jokes. We protested the protesters in front of the school from 7:20 this morning till 3:00 this afternoon. We're in all the local newspapers and on all the news channels, it's so amazing!


My mom and Jessy's mom came out to hold signs, too! And people 5 blocks away said they could hear us chanting. We got so much support from the community and passerby, and the GOD HATES FAGS people were just getting booed.


One of the the coolest things was that our whole movement was completely unplanned and came mostly from us texting students inside the school and telling them to join us. The support was really outstanding.

I don't have my pictures uploaded yet, but here's a ton from a local newpaper

That's awesome!

Just out of sheer curiosity, though...what did the school have to say about it? Regardless, that's an amazing thing you did. Well done!

Thanks!

Right in the beginning, when there were just about 10 of us, the security guards and cops came out and threatened us with every punishmen they could think of. About half of the kids went to class then, the rest of us stood our ground and explained that there was no way we were going to watch the hatred without doing something about it. Throughout the day, as our group grew in size (and loudness!) more and more kids just walked out of school, but the security gaurds took their names.

According to the security gaurds and the news reports, I guess they'll be suspending 80+ kids on monday? If they do suspend us, we plan on having a massive Suspension Party!

I'd go back and protest the suspension. LOL..

Well, whatever happens, that was awesome!

Kids at our school have tried protesting suspension and it always ends really badly. :(

But I'm soooo looking forward to proudly serving whatever "punishment" they can deal out!

I'm so proud of you! You probably got Eli (fish_kid)'s comment on Birls. He was reading his F-list, and he was like 'Baby, come read this!', and I was like OHHHH, THATS MY GIRLLLL!!!! Hahah! :)

I think that its amazing that you stood up for your rights that way, and that the rest of the community joined! If you can, see if you can tape the the news tonight and YouTube it! :) I'd love to watch the coverage, and what they had to say.

Oh, and add me on Facebook? Just search Elizabeth Sterling Diefenbach.

I requested you on facebook!
I've got some videos and stuff. And there are videos on the internet from news stations. There was actually an interview with me on one of the evening news-es!

And I did get his comment! I know it's in there somewhere!

Brit, this is AMAZING. There were a few of us participating in the Day of Silence today, but our school had nowhere NEAR the kind of support that you guys had. Props to you guys!

That's really awesome hon! I kept hearing about that on the news and kept wondering why nothing that amazing could ever have happened while I was there.

I think west has changed a lot in the last few years. Now the gay-bashers are the ones who get beat up. It's actually pretty cool.
