I'm going to an event soon and the last time I was there there were some of those awful street preachers with megaphones shouting bigotry. They're a nuisance and nobody wants them there, but it's a public festival and evidentially they're allowed to be there.

I tried looking online (reddit-logo)and most of the advice was stupid lib shit, ranging from, "Call the cops and tell them they're violating statute blah blah blah" or, "Just ignore them, you can't change their minds and engaging just feeds their persecution complex." Obviously the cops do nothing, I don't care about changing their minds or what they think I just want to shut them up. But I also don't want to get arrested and if possible, it'd be nice to avoid disturbing the other people further.

Most likely, I'm just gonna have to endure it, but I thought I'd raise the question for brainstorming bc it feels like a common enough situation that other people will encounter it too. Best I can think is screaming something back at them emilie-shrug

UPDATE: I ended up just wearing a bunch of pride stuff and then they weren't even there lol

The Dark Dungeons tract is my holy grail. I've asked every Chick Tract guy I've come across but nobody has them. I've even looked on the website but they only make them as a special order in batches of a thousand, so I'll probably have to wait for a new satanic panic about role playing to get that on. The plane crash one is another of my favs, the whole "good works don't matter" just really exposes that ideology. I don't know how anyone can call themselves christian and think "accepting Jesus*" is all you need.

*As long as its the correct White American Jesus^TM^
