WBC's site stated that church members would be present from 6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on November 22, 2008. There were at least a thousand, happy-go-lucky counterprotesters on site, but zero WBC members. As time wore on, it became apparent that WBC had punked out. Campus security informed me that they'd had no indication the gay-bashers had shown up as anticipated, though there were rumors that the WBC had arrived in a line of cars, taken one look at the gay-friendly crowd, and kept on riding.
