This is kind of a nice story for once (involving the WBC).
A group of college kids have figured out how to peacefully overpower, silence, and elegantly use WBC's hateful and attention seeking behavior against them. They've turned it completely around on WBC, and created something good out of it - for the victims that the WBC is hating-on.
A completely positive outcome to attempted bullying of an LBGT-friendly college campus by the WBC - and a windfall for the anti-bullying support group - The Trevor Project.
Vassar is also holding it's own rally during WBC's scheduled protest tomorrow, planning to ignore the WBC protest, and encouraging the entire town to do the same.
The Westboro Baptist Church refers to Vassar as "The Ivy League Whorehouse".
