According to The Wichita Eagle, Aug. 26:
“The Rev. Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist Church will demonstrate at the hotel beginning at noon.
The hotel has gained international attention for flying a rainbow flag, which is a symbol of gay rights. The owners say the flag was a gift from their son.
Phelps' group also plans to protest at five Meade churches starting at 10 a.m. Sunday.”
In retaliation, the Kansas Coalition for Equality plans to have its state board's monthly meeting at the Lakeway Hotel in Meade on Sunday.
According to a late night news cast, the owners of the motel are sick of the fuss and plan to sell it and move.
Other news organizations including MTV are planning to cover the event.
Once again Phelps has put Kansas in the national news and made fools of those of us who live here.
