PartySick 174,123 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 A representative for the fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church told USA TODAY that its members plan to picket Saturday outside the funeral for two of the victims of last Sunday's shooting massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando. "It's not about that person, it's about that whole societal phenomenon," Westboro spokesman Steve Drain of Topeka, Kan., said Thursday night in a telephone interview. "It’s never been OK to be gay and it’s never going to be OK to be gay, no matter how much the spirit of the times calls for the popularity of that sin." The Kansas-based church, through a lawyer, sent a letter to the Orlando Police Department spelling out plans to protest outside the Cathedral Church of St. Luke on Saturday from 10:15 a.m. to 11 a.m. Westboro members are known for protesting outside the funerals of gays and lesbians. Members declare that the Bible stipulates that the LGBT lifestyle is a sin. In the letter dated June 16, lawyer Rebekah Phelps-Davis wrote that Westboro members are "law-abiding and nonviolent" and requested that police "fulfill their duty to take responsible steps to keep the peace." They also requested information on permits that are required. About six members will take part in Saturday's protest, Drain said. A representative for the LGBT Community Center of Central Florida told the Orlando Sentinel that Westboro members can expect some pushback. The organization has obtained a protest permit to cushion the families of the two victims to be memorialized Saturday, Terry DeCarlo, executive director of the center, told the news organization. "We'll make sure they are not heard," he told the Sentinel. X Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartySick 174,123 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Certainly not surprising. You'd think they'd consider, idk, murder or thievery a bigger sin than two people of the same sex being in love. I hope more of their kids can leave like Megan did before they get hurt because of their idiot elders' ways Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved it when they cheered "We love you" at them, classy 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔪𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔯 𝔱𝔬𝔯𝔢 𝔞𝔴𝔞𝔶 𝔦𝔱𝔰 𝔪𝔞𝔰𝔨 𝔞𝔫𝔡...𝔦𝔱𝔰 𝔣𝔞𝔠𝔢 𝔴𝔞𝔰 𝔪𝔦𝔫𝔢. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
