Evidently WBC has backed down on picketing the Heritage Center after a huge outcry from locals and even a press release from the govenor, who ordinarily is a major putz. They are still planning to picket Catholic Holy Family Cathedral and mega Changepoint Community Church (which coincidentally is the governor's home church) for the sin of being "lukewarm." Counter protests are still being planned.
