"We realized that it wasn't so much about antagonizing them but sending out the countered safe that we are here for people who need that message and need that positivity" Megan Coleman, who helped make the sign, said according to Kansas' KSHB.
The message didn't get across to all Westboro members.
"I don't even know what they're saying," Westboro Baptist Chuch member Steve Drain said.
Exactly.
What is there to demonstrate about at a Lorde's concert? Several of her songs are about not caring and living a life of being disenfranchised. That is a common theme for teens. There is nothing that earthshaking about her entertainment.
Actually, it is fairly benign. Her theme is about being up against the machine and finding the 'place' where they don't care. It actually is about empowerment in going forward in ways that ignore the status quo. Not a bad message, actually.
Young people have incredible stress in their lives due to the demands placed on them by 'the system' so to speak. So, if they don't care and meet at the tennis court to talk about what they don't care about, that is fine. She is non-violent while still being non-conformist. That is being young and finding your way and your own message.
