Students Stand Against Westboro Baptist Protesters

I found this story to be very moving and inspirational.  By now, almost everyone knows that Michael Sam came out as gay last week.  As expected, he has been the subject of much debate and backlash over his decision to come out as the first gay player in the NFL.  On Saturday, the infamous Westboro Baptist Church decided to protest Sam and his sexuality.  What the group could not expect, though, was the response from University of Missouri students.  Sam's supporters, nearly 5,000 of them, formed a human wall to prevent the Westboro Baptist protesters from getting their message out.  Below is a short video of the students during their standoff against Westboro Baptist Church.
