Westboro Baptist Church, America’s craziest homophobes (and that’s saying something), are on their way to protest at two high school in the St. Louis area. They claim this is at the “request” on a student at one of the schools, reports Unicorn Booty:
Fort Zumwalt East High School students got the shock of a lifetime last week when they learned that the Westboro Baptist Church was on its way to come rage against the school’s gay students after being personally invited by one of their classmates.
Margie Phelps of Westboro Baptish Church told KDSK TV that “We’re going to stop by two high schools in the area to tell those young people to tell those young people who have been lied by every adult they’ve encounter, that it’s not okay to be gay, never has been, and never will be.”
Clayton High School is of course the site of the totally amazeballs Phelps-a-Thon, the Gay-Straight Alliance’s fundraiser which will earn donations for every minute that the WBC protests outside of the school. This move by clever Clayton students is a total game-changer that completely turns Westboro’s hateful preaching upside down.

Where in Christianity is hate-mongering an involved practice? What are Fred Phelps and the WBC afraid of anyhow? Rainbows? Unicorns? A flaming pink queer apocalypse? I attempted to address this with a portrait of the good reverend on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/03/fred-phelps-and-westboro-baptist-church.html Drop in and let me know what you think!
