X's substitute things that can give away my location.
While I am not gay I am still a strong pro-gay person and I find this disgusting how these hateful people can preach on a public forum. I know the 1st Amendment and everything but how about a little respect for people choices?
I thought this may be able to insight some good responses.
On XXXX, XXXX XX traveling members of the Westboro Baptist Church
from Topeka Kansas, led by Fred Phelps, will make a stop in the city of
XXXX. Mr. Phelps and the members of the Westboro Baptist Church are
well known for their anti-gay activism.
This small group plans to picket in various locations in XXXX on the
morning of XXXX, XXXX. They plan to be at the corner of XXXX
and XXXX. from 8:20 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. While this is not
University property, it is close enough to our campus that I wish to
make you aware of the demonstration. XXXX XXXX Police are aware of the
potential for a demonstration on this corner, as it is a dangerous
intersection with little room for pedestrians.
The University places high regard on the values of inclusion, civility,
respect and individual worth and remains committed to supporting an
environment where all students, faculty and staff are valued and
respected regardless of their views or orientations. However, it is also
important for all of us to understand that no matter how any member of
this community feels about a message imparted by any person or group,
the University fully recognizes the First Amendment rights of others to
free speech and is committed to this principle of freedom of expression.
The great diversity of our campus provides fertile ground for open
discussion on contradictory viewpoints and these dialogues must always
be encouraged, regardless of the nature of the content.
