Members of the Westboro Baptist Church came to USC’s campus on Monday morning as part of an effort to picket schools in Los Angeles. Their group consisted of four or five protesters, including children. USC students supporting LGBTQ rights met them with a protest of their own, chanting and standing together against the church that preaches anti-queer propaganda.
