I’m going to an event soon and the last time I was there there were some of those awful street preachers with megaphones shouting bigotry. They’re a nuisance and nobody wants them there, but it’s a public festival and evidentially they’re allowed to be there.
I tried looking online (
)and most of the advice was stupid lib shit, ranging from, “Call the cops and tell them they’re violating statute blah blah blah” or, “Just ignore them, you can’t change their minds and engaging just feeds their persecution complex.” Obviously the cops do nothing, I don’t care about changing their minds or what they think I just want to shut them up. But I also don’t want to get arrested and if possible, it’d be nice to avoid disturbing the other people further.
Most likely, I’m just gonna have to endure it, but I thought I’d raise the question for brainstorming bc it feels like a common enough situation that other people will encounter it too. Best I can think is screaming something back at them 
UPDATE: I ended up just wearing a bunch of pride stuff and then they weren’t even there lol
I don’t know what you can do if not just ignore them. Bring a decently loud speaker and play copyrighted music if they’re recording so they can’t publish the recording? If you wanna take one for the team and aren’t visibly queer you can talk with them and feign interest that you’re a potential convert just to occupy their time.
Disney is notorious for being ruthless with take-downs. If someone is looking for a good option and they don’t know where to start, that’s where I’d point them.
I remember the cops doing that during the Floyd protests. They’d play Taylor swift or Beatles in hopes anyone streaming would get taken down by YouTube or whomever.
