Panic! At The Disco Responds to Westboro Baptist Church Picketing Concert
And after the organization's ludicrous song and dance, want to know how many people actually turned up? 13. Yes... only 13 people turned up to picket the concert.
Today @WBCSays is going to picket us. For every member of WBC that actually shows up we will donate $20 to @HRC #pride2014

Thank you @WBCSays for the update on the total amount you donated to @HRC today. $20X13= weak. We're going to make it an even $1000.

The band announced yesterday, that for every member of WBC that showed up, they were going to donate $20 to the Human Rights Campaign. Since $260 was a very low number to donate to the civil rights organization, they decided to donate $1000 as well as 5% sales of merchandise from the concert.
We will also be donating 5% of our total merch sales from this show to @HRC
