Protests happen every day (especially recently in the USA) and while we can all agree that they are necessary and often effective when promoting social change, they can be very intense and tiring.
Fortunately, some of the protesters decided to lighten the mood by carrying signs that are not that serious.
Bored Panda put together a list of the funniest protest signs that are sure to make you laugh. Have you ever captured an interesting sign yourself? Be sure to upload it to our list and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

San Diego LGBT Pride
Miguel Rummel- considering homosexual behavior has been observed in every earth species that has long term pairbonding, how could it be something we created?
Exactly. Homophobia is proof of scientific ignorance, in addition to lack of empathy and inability to practice logic.

That's how feel about gender equality. Same debates like in the 1980s, very little change in general and almost none in the media :-/
The world is about to find out what a force of nature little old ladies can be.
92-Year-Old Mother Has Been Carrying The Same Sign At Gay Pride Parade For Decades
Yeah. It's so heartwarming how she shows so much devotion to her daughters.
Load More Replies...This is wonderful but why does she have to do this year after year. Wake up, everybody wake up and love one another
What an awful mother. She should have disowned her daughter when she found out
Wow you sure are a nice person. That's such a good reason to disown your kid too! F**K YOU I'm allowed to have an opinion
Load More Replies...Immigrant Jobs
americans can build their own mexican walls soon. we immigrants dont want that job.
So true! If an immigrant with no family that can't speak English can "take your job", then maybe you need to reexamine your own life.
what if an immigrant in illegal (and precarious!) situation has to take an underpaid job in black to have some money to eat, because he has not social security? how is that related to "my" life as an european/american which always follow the "rules" (studies, looking for job, costing too much, be fired,...)? Of course they are not here to "take our jobs" but only because the situation in their country is unbearable...but nothing is black and white and I can understand people who don't see the whole picture and are scared.
Load More Replies...This actually pisses me off. Immigrants come here being told no locals are applying for their menial, low wage jobs. But what is actually happening is employers would rather hire a "temp" foreign worker just to not have to pay their employees the mandatory minimum wage. I was forced to quit, pushed out of a job where I was constantly threatened to be replaced by someone from overseas if I didn't complete 2 to 3 person workloads everyday on my own. I was basically set up to fail. I heard from a co-worker that a TFW person did take my job and she wasn't doing nearly the same amount of work I was expected to do, was treated better and doesn't even do her job with the same, good quality I did.
Be grateful you no longer have business with those a-holes instead. No, seriously, I'm not criticising you, I'm encouraging you. You deserve better. As for the employers preferences, it really depends. When I'm looking for a job here in Korea, unless it's a position advertised as "part time", they tend to point out that they want a long lasting employee, and not having to deal with complicated visa processes.
Load More Replies...That's just mean. That is why I work in Taiwan. But I wouldn't do that to them here, or any country I immigrated to. People are just so mean nowadays. Hateful really.
Racial Discrimination Protest
Man, I hate the word "Islamophobia" and it's derivatives. I have the same respect for Arabic people in general as I do for people of any other place, and I know that many modern Muslims don't follow their holy books word for word just like many Christians and Jews, but the Qur'an has some seriously scary s**t in it. It's like 10% miscellaneous rules, 10% repeating the same damn story of Moses over and over again, 20% " everything said in this book is totally real guys, take my word for it" and 60% "KILL THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN WHAT THIS BOOK SAYS, also, they will go to a horrible hell".
Load More Replies...This is the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert put together. I actually saw this sign while I was there. =,D
I don’t freak out when I see Arabic writing but I do get a small headache trying to figure out what it says.
Without Immigrants Trump Would Have No Wives
Unfortunately Trump doesnt know how to read http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/31/samantha-bee-is-convinced-donald-trump-can-t-read.html
Load More Replies...Immigrants =/= illegal immigrants. Law is the law, and should be respected. My country has VISA's to USA, and it's hard to get one, but I totally agree with Trump.
He doesn't have a problem with immigrants per say - he has a problem with immigrants here ILLEGALLY. I'm not defending him btw. Just saying
He never said he doesn't like immigrants. You listen to the media too much. He is trying to get rid of illegals, because they take American jobs and they take government handouts. I live in Taiwan, and I work in Taiwan, because I couldn't find a good job in America, only one of those part time jobs Obama created. Obama cancelled my good health insurance. In Taiwan, I get government health insurance, but I am legal. In America, illegals are taking jobs and taking government handouts. I used to have to take government handouts in the USA because I had no good job after the recession closed my boss's business. But I still went back to school, received two Master's degrees, and now I work and live in Taiwan, using my degrees and training for good. I'm not illegal here.
Foreign people are taking American labor jobs because the companies left the U.S. to take advantage of lower wages and fewer labor regulations. Immigrants are taking skilled jobs because there aren't enough Americans getting the appropriate education to fill them - perhaps because Americans can't afford the cost of higher education in this country or the many, many years of student loan debt to get it. Immigration isn't the problem. The problem clearly the pervasive corporate-driven policies that dominate every aspect of life in the United States.
Load More Replies...Without immigration, there would be no Trump. In fact many of us living in the US owe our lives to immigration, as our ancestors probably immigrated here at some point in time. I hate that some people (ahem, mr. Trump) forget this and think they somehow have racial supremacy over others. How is the human race so clueless?
Trump said he will ban illegal ones, stop that brainwashing media war
Wait....wasn't Marla Maples a Caucasian girl from Georgia (USA...NOT USSR)
so much downvoting for trump wives defending comments. wow.. legal=/= illegal get over it.
Trump's Grandfather was an illegal Immigrant from Germany. Without Immigrants, there would be NO TRUMP
Stop It!
It's not the decorating that gets to me, it's the music. The horrible music that pretty much doesn't change year after year. YOU DON'T GET TO PLAY THAT UNTIL AT LEAST THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER!
It's like . . . . December starts . . . And suddenly all other genres of music cease to exist.
Load More Replies...My neighbour put up his Christmas decorations on the 16th of November this year (2016)... absolute truth...!!
Ha. He is pathetic. I put mine up on the first of november…
Load More Replies...Maybe they mean people decorating in september
Load More Replies...Nooooo!!!!!! I could do Christmas for ohhhhh….9-10 months of the year!
Stewart And Colbert's 'Rally to Restore Sanity'
I find it somewhat disturbing that so many men "fear" their wives/women in general. Even as a joke, it doesn't sit right with me.
And that works both ways, in my opinion. I totally get the joke, but it's a really old, worn out cliche.
Load More Replies...Hilarious! But then, I know a joke when I see one and I don't get offended. Others here... not so much. As to men and women - vive la difference!
Relax guys, it is a joke obviously! It is common joke in a lot countries.

Honest Sign
The Most Important Cause Of Them All
Jesus Had 2 Dads And He Turned Out Fine
I hate when people compare God to the lgbtq community especially that most religions don’t approve of The lgbtq community
Well, some Christian denominations think he and God are the same, so he was like, his own dad, but not in the "time travel incest" kind of way.

I may hate abortion, but people are entitled to their own choices and opinions.
Yes, im with you. For some reason Christian get a lot of hate here but im not gonna hide it cus I don’t care, but I don’t believe that abortion is right, but we all have a free will and it’s your choice. I could do a whole essay on this but im restraining myself… basically, if someone is raped, I don’t think it’s right that they have to live with that child that they didn’t ever want; if someone has sex and the other person lies about being protected or about being unable to reproduce, then the woman should not have to live with that. I personally would have the child in any situation at any age, but others don’t have to think the same as me. Opinions are just that, opinions. They can change from person to person.
Load More Replies...At first glance, I thought the sign on the left said "Babies are murderers here" -_-
I don’t think it’s a choice nor opinion. Abortion kills unborn children.
Abortion gets rid of a clump of cells, saving the parents and baby from miserable lives.

Reliant Freedom From Religion Protest
““ ‘Many creatures live in the water of the oceans and streams. You can eat all those that have fins and scales. Treat as “unclean” all the creatures in the oceans or streams that do not have fins and scales. That includes all those that move together in groups and all those that do not. Treat them as “unclean.” Do not eat their meat. Treat their dead bodies as “unclean.” Regard as “unclean” everything that lives in the water that does not have fins and scales.” Leviticus 11:9-12 NIRV It’s not wrong. Also God doesn’t hate people. People do. And people suck.

It’s a wonderful idea, but from a scientific standpoint, having a march isn’t going to stop global climate change. We’re already doing everything we know how, but if the march was a fundraiser then the money can be used to research more ways to help. It’s still very thoughtful and impactful on others when you do this, so props to you for getting out there and doing something about it!
No. Some of us are doing everything we can. And some are doing nothing but watch the whole place burn.
