Anti-Gay Protester Gets a Mothers' Day Slushie to the Face

An anti-gay demonstrator in Michigan, who held a sign on Mothers Day that read, "Thank your mom today for not being gay," totally got Glee'd by another woman, NBC-affiliate WOOD-TV reports.

A man named Zach Hoag later joined Weick, holding a sign that read, "But two moms can be fabulous!"
"Love one another. I think that two moms or two dads can love and nurture a child just the exact same way a mother and father could," he said.
Hoag wasn't the only one to counter protest Weick. Another man held a sign that read, "Fuck her," and another woman held a sign that read, "I
WOOD-TV reports a number of drivers honked their horns at the signs and one woman yelled out the car window saying, "I'm gay and I have children. I think you're sick."
