RT @kolr10ksfxnews: Anti-Hate Message Outside Adam Lambert Concert: (Springfield, MO) -- As thousands filed into http://bit.ly/bIbVyG

There's a local TV clip that I can't embed and this:

(Springfield, MO) -- As thousands filed into Juanita K Hammons Hall for Saturday's Adam Lambert concert, they were met with a strong message from the sidelines.

About 150 people lined the street outside the Juanita K. carrying signs against hate.

It was thought that a church known for protesting gay people and soldiers funerals would show up outside the concert.

This group of people wanted to show the church they were against their message.

"By being here I can just be one more voice to add to the group that says live and let live that the way to go," Chris Weber said. He was taking part in the rally.

By 7:30 pm the group that was going to protest had not shown up.

Those here say it doesn't matter and it's important they spread their message, which is that everyone should be treated equally.

let me know if you would like the counter-protest stuff organized in a different way on the OP, bb.

Westboro protest is a no-show; counter-protestors celebrate, anyway


Around 200 people gathered outside Juanita K. Hammons Hall today to counter-protest a planned picket by the Westboro Baptist Church, but the Westboro group never showed up.

The Kansas church has sparked outrage around the country for its pickets, which feature profane and derogatory language warning people about the danger of Hell. The group had posted on its Web site an intention to protest a concert at the hall by Adam Lambert, who is gay.

The group typically preaches that God hates gay people, but also preaches God hates Jews, Catholics and America. It pickets the funerals of dead soldiers, saying the deaths are God’s punishment of America for tolerating homosexuality.

Local college students organized the counter protest on Facebook.

“Because they didn’t show up, instead of a protest, now its just a celebration,” said organizer Adam Crawford. “It was a great way to get together and show the community what we are all about.”

Jason Dallam, 19, wore a rainbow flag cape.

He said he first went to a protest against Westboro earlier this summer when the church group appeared outside a Lady Gaga concert. A few years earlier the Westboro group showed up at a memorial service for Dallam’s half-brother Ryan, a soldier who died in Iraq. He never saw the group there, because a group of motorcycle riders kept a barricade.

This summer, friends encouraged Dallam to protest against the Westboro group in Oklahoma.

“I realized they aren’t as tough as they pretend to be.,” said Dallam. “I think they are a bunch of crazies stuck in a world where they think everything they think is right.”

Drury student Brandon Landers said he has been traveling to events where Westboro pickets, documenting the events for a photo project.

“This is by far the largest anti-protest we’ve seen,” said Landers. “I saw 20 counter protesters at most at the other places, so this is amazing.”

Oklahoma City resident Julie Willits snapped pictures of the counter-protesters and said she was happy that church group, who she described as hateful people who don’t know the meaning of Christianity, were no-shows.

“If the world had more people who were just as kind as Adam Lambert, you wouldn’t need this crap,” said Willits, who has met the performer twice. “All this stuff he’s put up with, he never once turned around and said ‘I hate you guys, too.’”

The crowd dwindled as the concert was about to begin, then Lambert ducked out to thank those left.

“He was there two or three minutes, and kind of walked the sidewalk signing people’s posters and stuff,” said Adam Crawford. “It was kind of surprising.”

WATCH: ADAM LAMBERT SUCKS FACE FOR WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH (http://www.towleroad.com/2010/08/watch-adam-lambert-sucks-face-for-westboro-baptist-church.html) (Towleroad)

The "God hates fags" crowd from Westboro Baptist Church was scheduled to protest the Adam Lambert concert in Springfield, Missouri on Saturday night.

Fans were ready. Two hundred counter-protesters showed up. However, the Fred Phelps clan didn't, Daily Kos reports:

"Still, the openly gay singer (a frequent target of WBC ire) came out to greet his supporters and autograph their protest signs; tweeted his outrage at the 'Westboro Bastard Church of Ignorance'; and kissed a male bandmate during his show, adding: 'Suck on this, Westboro.'"

Watch video of the kiss, and of Lambert's visit to the counterprotesters, AFTER THE JUMP...
