WBC's hate-promoting signs were answered by multiple signs of randomness, nonsensical yelling, and even a unicorn. A portable stereo blared Lady GaGa, while press and people passing by ignored the WBC signs and took pictures and videos of the more entertaining signs. I was also there and turned on the video camera while holding my sign. WBC signs included:
 * GOD HATES FAG ENABLERS
 * FAGS CAN'T MARRY / Mark 19:5
 * GOD HATES OBAMA
 * GOD HATES JEWS
 * FAGS ARE BEASTS / 2Pet 2:12

Parody signs included:
 * I HAVE A SIGN
 * I'M TIRED
 * ME
 * BUILD PRISONS on the MOON
 * GOD LOVES (remainder of sign too small to read in photo)
 * SILLY HATS ONLY
 * GOD HATES FLAGS
 * GOD HATES KITTENS
 * GOD HATES SIGNS
 * I WAS PROMISED DONUTS

Rick-Roll signs:
 * GOD NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
 * GOD NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN
 * GOD NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESERT YOU
