The hate group, WBC (Westboro Baptist 'Church') showed up, earlier this this year, to picket Santa Monica High School after the school publicly embraced a lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) environment. When WBC came out the scheduled day, they got a big surprise
The Santa Monica High School district's Board of Education caught wind of WBC's threat to picket, and sent out an open letter to the students and community. The community showed up, and it looks like they had a good time. Some of the counter signs to Westboro's "God Hates..." were:
"God Cares for All Creation," "Ain't Nobody Got Time for Hate" and "God Hates People Who Say They Know Who God Hates." The crowd held hands, waved flags and cheered.

I do enjoy whenever I see we, the people, step up, take charge and trump evil with good.
