Like Sardines
The counter-protesters consisted of hundreds of people with different backgrounds, beliefs and time schedules; this included committed gay rights supporters with plans to follow WBC throughout the day, student journalists and their adult counterparts with 30-minute deadlines to meet and local high school students participating in a unity rally who would leave as soon as their first classes started. Even as each person’s poster carried a different slogan, and each face a different expression, all of those who were present were joined by one theme: acceptance. Cupertino had never been host to such large crowds before, but by joining together in one goal--to rid the community of the WBC--the counter-protesters actively demonstrated their support of all people, regardless of their sexuality.
