TRACY- 13 hate, 250 love
Love wins the June 11 "battle of Tracy". Hate loses.
Outside a high school in Tracy, CA, 13 queer-haters were
outnumbered by around 250 counter-demonstrators,
on Saturday, June 11.
For details on Tracy, please see SF Chronicle report:

The Kansas fundi-fascists said they would picket Tracy churches
on Sunday, June 12.
They didn't mention any plans to visit San Francisco.

[ Comment by TBL:
(1) I'm proud of Tracy residents and others
who spoke up against genocidal hate.
(2) Unfortunately, IndyBay.org was damaged by
a factually FALSE report which claimed
that the Kansas gang would be picketing against GLAAD
at a downtown SF hotel;
and urged counter-demonstrators to use fire.
In fact, the GLAAD event had (weeks ago) moved to another location,
in sympathy with hotel workers;
a change which had previously been reported in both SF queer newspapers.
Plus the insane fire proposal
reflected badly on IndyBay.org;
and thus helped our enemies.
Frankly, I don't know whether the false report was
a deliberate hoax,
designed to harm queers and IndyBay.org;
or just a stupid foul-up.
( Remember the divisive tricks which the FBI used
in Hoover's COINTELPRO assaults on the Left?
Is Bush more ethical than Hoover? ) ]

Get frickin real A hoax?
Many people who post on this site jump to conclusions.
Not a damn soul on this planet except the Phelps clan it self is going to cover or support them. (Phelps clan)
Wow was there a plan to shoot fire at them? Wow cool?
Use your brains.
A little common sense goes a long way.
I am queer and wouldn't waste a frickin second of my time on those fools, or a bullet.
(at Union Square);
but NOT in the second posting (at Fort Mason) :
...
When they have appered in San Francisco in the past, they have been met with rocks, bottles and Aqua-net incited fires (Recipe: 1. get a book of matches or a lighter, light the fire, 2. Get a can of hairspray, (All the fashionable people use Aqua-net® but any hairspray or other canned spray accelerant will do. Butch-types can use Right Guard® Spray),
3. Hold the fire in front of the Aqua-net nozzle. Make sure nozzle is facing the way you want the fire to go (Fire safety is important), and spray. The flames will look very impressive), Watch the non-sissies run behind the police officers. Don't get caught. We want to see your pretty faces all week-end. None of this last paragraph is approved by Indybay, GLAAD or any responsible group.
Again its 5pm, today Saturday, Union Square. Be there or be oblong!
