Apparently WBC is 2 blocks from my office

Same sex marriage is legal as of today in Delaware, and Westboro is protesting at the Capitol building in Wilmington.

Gross. I can see them from the meeting I'm in. There looks to be 50 to 100 people out there with them.

Ignore them--they'll go away when people stop paying attention.

Not that anyone had been able to do that, but I'm still hoping it can happen.

I agree, if the news stops covering and people stop looking, they'll fade away into oblivion.

Good news -- the protest was scheduled to end at 9, but they've left already.

LOL worst protest ever.

[ringstrue]

They have the weirdest protests.

How many were there? From the pictures on DelawareOnline it looked like about three Westboro folks.

The only thing these people are looking for is the media attention. Our local media stations have refused to cover their protests when they're here. Funny, they haven't been back since.

I don't know; I was 2 blocks away and 8 stories up, looking out a window.

You know your politics are screwed up when you're joining a protest with Westboro. Glad it's over already.

I'm hoping the others were there to counter-protest or look at WBC as if they're zoo animals.

redheadbaker @foodielicious we should have a GTG one of these days

[delawarejen]

Oh, and the first marriage was a state senator and her partner. Woot!

[StrawberryBlondie]

I wonder if they'll decide to grace us with their presence next month.

Just say when and where.  I'm up in NCC often enough so we can do it closer to you guys, not that anywhere in this state is far lol. 

Kind of cool there's 3 of us now.

I live in Philly, I just work in Wilmington But I'd still be up for driving down to DE for a GTG.

Fourth Delawarean checking in! I had friends that went to protest WBC. I believe there were more anti-WBC than actual WBC members.

[eponinepontmercy]

I didn't know there were more Delaware people!
