Standing United in the Face of Hate

An anti-Jewish and anti-Gay group, the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), plans to stage a demonstration outside the Marcus Hillel Center at Emory in early May to bring their message of hate to our community. While staging a counter-demonstration with our many friends and allies on campus may very well be a powerful message of unity, after consulting with our student and campus leadership, we have decided such an action would bring WBC more attention and credibility than they deserve.
