There was a ton of drive-by traffic, slowing down for the freakshow. The cops kept the counter-protestors across the street from the Phelps clan, so it was civil. Queer supporters that didn't bring signs were given sheets with "Gay? Fine by me" to hold up in silent protest.” Includes a selection of photos of the event.}}{{#vardefine:keylist|{{#var:keylist}}\Text}}{{#vardefine:Text.disp|“Guess what?
