Last Wednesday in Maple Grove, several members of the Westboro Baptist Church waved anti-LGBTQ signs and shouted anti-LGBTQ slurs in front of the high school and two health clinics. Members of the Maple Grove community staged their own demonstration of support for LGBTQ students.

The Civic Observer, which has additional photos from the protest, notes that Westboro’s appearance was ahead of schedule and that the group was absent when classes let out. After school, students rallied with counter-protesters.
Quick Country 96.5 captured video of the counter-protest:
What a beautiful scene of happy, accepting people!! Spread the love.
Thanks Maple Grove for the caring and showing.
