Bring your "Alice Hates Fags" signs a la Fred Phelps to Shubert Alley Thursday night at 10. Homophobia will not be tolerated in the theater community. Spread the word. Queers unite against Crazy.

Isn't Next to Normal dark on Wednesdays? That will do good going to a dark theater.

If Ripley was really showing hate (and I don't think she was.. but I'll bite), what will protesting Hate with Hate do? It will do nothing but cause more hate.

Maybe the anon freakazoid over at BroadwaySecrets can find this inspirational.

It would be interesting for someone to confront her in reality about it..

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Dude.. What is this going to prove? That you can make signs? I am against the use of the word.. but as I said.. if she was showing hate (and I don't think she was) but IF she was.. what on earth is showing her hate back going to do? It's only going to prove her point about this community.

I am so going to be there on Thursday. I just have to figure out what outfit I should wear and what I should write on my sign.

She said Jesus was the faggot son of Miss Piggy and grabbed her crotch while reading bible verses to a crowd of underprivelaged retarded preschoolers.
It was quite a scene.

Don't you think someone will tell her about this and she might hm... not come out the stage door that night?

She'd still be there, though. I don't really have an opinion on the protest, but demonstrations are never contingent on the entity being demonstrated standing before you as you do it.

That vacation from the role of Diana cannot come soon enough. But really, this woman has a huge gay following (SIDE SHOW, anyone?) Does anyone think she's really homophobic?

Wouldn't it be neat if BWW did photo coverage of the two people that show up for this?

I think many straight folks are a titch homophobic internally. It doesn't mean it's a virulent homophobia, but nothing really surprises me. I'm often surprised by the limits of heterosexual tolerance, even on this board.

No, I really don't think she's homophobic, nor do I think a gay guy saying the c word is automatically misogynistic. However, if you use a pejorative word for a group and get called out on it and kind of willfully keep your ignorant head up, there IS some sort of problem there. It's very Palinesque.
