COUNTER PROTEST ANTI-GAY, ANTI-IMMIGRANT RALLY IN BOSTON SUNDAY APRIL 15th
-- Meet Sunday, April 15th  2pm at the George Washington Statue at the Boston Gardens--

This Sunday 4/15, tea party right-wing extremist Rick Santorum and anti-gay activist Rev. Scott Lively are headlining a Tea Party rally--on the Boston Commons.

According to Lively, gays are actually behind Nazism: "homosexuals [are] the true inventors of Nazism and the guiding force behind many Nazi atrocities." Santorum is known for his anti-gay, anti-women and racist views-- he has compared homosexuality to bestiality and pedophilia, opposes birth control, supports torture, and regularly spews racist garbage like "I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money."

WE WILL NOT STAND FOR HATRED, HOMOPHOBIA AND BIGOTRY IN BOSTON!
INSTEAD, WE BRING OUR PROTEST, DANCING, RAGE AND MUSIC TO THIS HATEFUL EVENT!

What: Protest Santorum, Lively and Tea Party extremists with protest & dancing!
When: Meet Sunday, April 15th  2pm at the George Washington Statue at the Boston Gardens (Their rally is from 1-4pm).
What to bring: Your rage, signs and shouts-- but also (if you'd like) costumes, dancing and music. We confront their hatred with our own anger, but we also celebrate our own existence and have a little fun with a dance party! Anti-gay racists out of Boston!

yeah, still happening.  The rally has a long list of speakers and Santorum is just one and seems as though he is still speaking at it.
