Fred Phelps and his posse over at the Westboro Baptist Church will be in town on July 24 from 4:45-5:00 pm.
This is from their press release:
Iowa State University - We're back to tell you God H8s You! SW corner of W. Lincoln Way & University Blvd What's up ISU? Long time, no see. While we are in the area to picket Marshalltown, we thought we'd stop by and say "God Hates You"; "You're Going To Hell" and "God Hates Fags" Iowa says "It's Okay To Be Gay", and was the first to begin giving $ to little perverts for no other reason than they brag about being little perverts. God Hates Iowa, and all who live there are cursed. Deuteronomy 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. 29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 30 Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? 31 For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein. 32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day. Obama's gonna destroy your State with his "economic program" and then you are going to eat you little babies - you heard it here FIRST. AMEN!
Too bad we won't be there. Summer session ends on the 10th of July. I'm not wasting my summer vacation dealing with them. I have more important things to do like solving the middle east crisis, alternative energy, global warming, world hunger, and world peace.
Naked Pride
Friday, June 12, 2009 7:30 p.m.
Sheslow Auditorium, Drake University, 25th & University, Des Moines
The Chorus finds just the right mix of songs for a free-spirited Capital City Pride weekend and songs from a cycle called Naked Man. Composer Robert Seeley says, "Naked Man not only addresses experiences in Gay culture, it celebrates the human condition. We all go through life shedding layers of ourselves, our masks and our insecurities, in order to express our true selves." Experience a powerful night of pride with the Des Moines Gay Men's Chorus.
N.B. Unfortunately, no men will actually be naked in this choral performance
