When Breeders Attack: An Alternative Response

First watch this:



Now, pay very close attention to this local demonstration:



Now one last clip:




Queers praising the Catholic Church?

Planning to meet with the archbishop over tea in order to beg him to end the crusade against queer and transgender people?

Best of luck with that.

Here is how one gay activist group ordered participants to behave when the Westboro Baptist Church showed up at a local high school:

It is important we congregate before the Phelps family arrives and block their ability to display their horrific signs toward the children of our community. We are encouraging folks to make angel wings , or to bring larger white or colorful fabric stretched on polls with nothing written on them. We can pull these sheets together and simply surround the Phelps signage thus blocking their hate.

This is a peaceful counter protest so no graphic signs, just images of peace, love and unity. The color white is wonderful as is the rainbow symbolizing the most universal image of Godly peace.

Now for an example of a different approach (listen to them chant "fags hate god" after assaulting the Phelps family):



Next, we have a Christian-produced video of a Bash Back! action at a virulently anti-queer and anti-transgender church in Lansing, MI- remember that as you listen to the narrator. This church has since implemented intense security measures- in other words, they felt fear and were forced to spend money on security measures that made going to church on Sunday a bigger pain in the ass than going through airport security. Watch how Bash Back! gave them a taste of the fear they force queer and transgender people to live with every fucking day:



Here's Bill O'Reilly's coverage of the action:



Did you hear that ADF fucker talk about how "intolerant" the demonstrators were?

How far has our "tolerance" of religious queer bashing gotten us?

Do you think that they would stop their assault on us if we said "pretty please" and talked about our love for Christ too?

Here is a local NBC affiliate's take on it. Note the Catholic League President calling it a "Nazi-like tactic". He should know, considering that the current Pope served in the Nazi infantry during seminary.



So who are these evil militant queers?

Well, believe it or not, that rag Details did a story on them that might give you an idea.

"But that is so militant! I mean, if we're like, that radical, then no one will take us seriously and we won't get anywhere."

I got some news for you Mary. No one is taking us seriously now. And where are "we" trying to get exactly?

Ever heard of the White Night riots in San Francisco? Here's original footage from news coverage of the event.  I think it is safe to say that San Francisco became a safer place for queers and transgender people thanks to the evil fag, dyke and tranny terrorists who finally got fed up and decided to bash back. 



 If you aren't afraid of getting arrested for creative, non-violent (i.e., not harming people--property however...) and provocative activism that will let the Christofascists know that if they fuck with us, they are going to regret it, then use this site as a starting point. Talk amongst yourselves in the comments section.

If there are enough queer and trans people who are interested,  perhaps this place can serve as a potential catalyst for direct actions the bigots in this town won't soon forget. It's time to put the queer-bashers on notice that assaulting us could be hazardous to their health. It's time to create a space where transgender people are valued and respected--not ignored and marginalized by the mainstream gaysbien community.

Tired of being pushed around?
Then stand in solidarity with your queer and transgender comrades across the country and BASH BACK!
