Westboro Protests Outside NBA Finals

The circus came to town…

By Advocate.com Editors

Members of the Westboro Baptist Chruch protested a new NBA policy against antigay slurs on Sunday night outside game three of the league finals in Dallas.

KDAF-TV reports on the small, hour-long protest outside the American Airlines Center, which befuddled some fans who arrived to watch the Dallas Mavericks play the Miami Heat. The antigay Westboro Baptist Church criticized a new policy against gay slurs that already has resulted in fines for players including Kobe Bryant and Joakim Noah. READ MORE

Lisa Lampanelli Turns Westboro Hate Into AIDS Cash Cow
By Winston Gieseke @ Advocate Mag

Comedian Lisa Lampanelli, who vowed to donate $1,000 to GMHC for every member of Fred Phelp’s Westboro Baptist Church who picketed her show last night in Topeka, Kansas, has said she will give $44,000 to the nation’s oldest HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care services provider.

“We are grateful for Lisa Lampanelli’s kindness and courage to fight homophobia,” said Marjorie Hill, PhD, CEO of GMHC. “She is holding up a mirror to bigotry and hatred, and reflecting back love and generosity.”

Before her show, Lampanelli, who has steadfastly supported the LGBT community, went outside to greet the protesters, 44 of whom showed up holding signs with messages saying “God Hates Fag Enablers,” “God Hates America,” and “God Hates You.”

After the show, the comedian tweeted that she will be writing a check for $44,000 in the church’s name.

Westboro Spoofs No H8 Campaign; Dumb Asses

At first glance, I thought this was a joke. Come to find out it’s for real, but what a joke. This is some of the most radical improv art ever. Pushing the envelope, current, controversial and dominating conversation. Not to be taken serious, but made out of someones mad hallucinations and put on canvass. In this case, duck tape. Westboro’s comedy act has been on the road for a very long time. They should think about doing stand up or booking galleries. Are they for real, for real? Crazy is, as crazy does.

Westboro Spoofs No H8 Campaign

By Advocate.com Editors

In a 25-minute video laced with profanities and antigay slurs, the Westboro Baptist Church offers its spoof on the No H8 Campaign.

“We gonna tell u who God H8S,” the familiar black and red paint spells out at the beginning of the video.

Subsequent images show members of the church with tape over their mouths and phrases such as “God H8S Fags” and “God H8S Adulterers” painted on their cheeks.

Fred Phelps = Ick

_

By John Culhane, Professor of Law, Widener University 

An elderly man is standing near a grave. A funeral memorial service for his life-long partner has just concluded. Surrounded by mourners, he is allowing himself a moment of quiet reflection and grief.

Just then, two young men burst from behind a wall of mourners and shout: “Fag deaths are God’s punishment! U.S. is going to Hell.” One man then pushes the bereaved, frail man into the open grave, and the other grabs the nearby shovel and starts piling dirt on him.

After about thirty seconds, the two miscreants are dragged away by a group of mourners.

A few months later, the victim sues his two attackers for his physical and emotional injuries. Does he have a claim, or does the First Amendment protect the actions of the men who attacked him?

O’Reilly Slams Westboro Baptist Church

By Advocate.com Editors

Bill O’Reilly and Fox News anchor and attorney Megyn Kelly get into it on the air over the Westboro Baptist Church verdict, with O’Reilly calling them “vile idiots who are happy our soldiers are coming home dead.”

Kelly supports the SCOTUS verdict, saying she doesn’t like what Westboro stands for, but she does like the First Amendment.

Surprise, Nate Phelps, Son of fag-hating soldier-hating, America-hating Westboro Baptist Church pastor Fred Phelps is Interviewed

Nate Phelps is quite the bear daddy!

Nate Phelps Says: “Everything that’s going on in America right now in [Fred Phelps‘] twisted mind is about God being upset with America because they’re moving in the direction of supporting equal rights for gays. So everything that’s happening is a manifestation of God’s wrath at the country for that.” Surprise, but Fred Phelps is a Democrat!

Aired last night on Vision TV in Canada:

“In his first in-depth television interview, he tells journalist Peter W. Klein about a childhood dominated by a fear of going to hell, and says the Westboro Baptist Church shares some of the same traits as a cult. Phelps says his father regularly beat his mother and 11 siblings, used racial epithets and blamed the world’s problems on homosexuality….In the interview, Phelps says that his father was once a brilliant and well-respected lawyer who led several anti-segregation cases and was honoured by the NAACP as a civil rights hero. Nate Phelps now considers himself an atheist.”
