'Counter-protesters' at Westboro Baptist Church protest keep it classy (really)

When Westboro Baptist Church leader Fred Phelps died Thursday, many discussed what would be the best way to picket his funeral for a change. Cooler heads have prevailed, and “counter-protesters” outside a Lorde concert met Westboro picketers with a sign reading simply, “Sorry for your loss.”

I'm so inspired by the Westboro Baptist Church counter-protesters who held up signs that said "Sorry For Your Loss." #WeAreAllHuman
