(Crossposted from BBC News)HAMPSHIRE, U.K. (Observer Update) - A threatened mass protest by an anti-gay US church failed to materialize when only one demonstrator turned up.
Fred Phelps and his daughter Shirley Phelps-Roper from the Westboro Baptist Church were banned from entering the UK to protest against a play in Hampshire.
They had urged a picket of Queen Mary's College in Basingstoke over the staging of The Laramie Project, a play about a man killed for being gay.
But only one protester arrived and was heckled away by counter-demonstrators.
