Student turns Westboro Baptist Church protest into LGBT fundraiser
University of Illinois Chicago student Jason Connell turned an anti-gay protest of the Westboro Baptist Church into a fundraiser to raise money for LGBT rights groups.
The groups include the Human Rights Campaign, International AIDS Foundation and Chicago-based Jerusalem Open House.
Jason explains:
All the donations we collect today are going to be made in honor of the WBC and for everyone who donates I have some community thank you cards that we mailed to Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, thanking them because their presence here is what allowed this to happen.
