Putting aside my utter loathing of religion, the counter-protest was inspired! Some of the signs / placards were hilarious! My personal favourites were: "Is this thing on?", "Superman Loves Fags!" and "God eats pizza!" - brilliant stuff!
I noticed that there were a few fursuiters in the counter-protest, which makes sense as a good number of the fur-fandom, myself included, are geeks. Someone also mentioned that the "embedded journalist" did the rounds at a few conventions. Although I am one of the minority of furs who is a)Not a fursuiter and b) Straight, I'd like to know how he got on.
Also, I would like to share a related tale with you. A well-known furry and convention regular told me that a US convention had a very small protest outside. "God hates furries!", "Go home, furfags!" and so on. Rather than get pissy and/or throw stuff, a number of furs went out and (jokingly) joined in the protest. In addition to this subtle (but brilliant!) mind-f*ck, when it started the rain, the protesters were invited into the hotel to get out of the rain and have a hot drink. They declined, packed up and p*ssed off! Brilliant stuff!
It's the way to deal with these hateful, weak-minded pillocks. As much as I would like to drive a monster truck over them all, the Comic-Con counter protest was a hilariously fiendish idea and more power to them for it!
Well done!
