What do you think about Gunn's protest? Do you think they should have ignored them?

i really like what they did. they weren't expressing anger towards WBC, they weren't really engaging them at all. they used it as a way to reinforce a sense of acceptance & community, and i think it was perfect given the circumstances. it's the only way to "win" with the phelps family.
