No One Expects the Westboro Inquisition
I am confused.
Reading through the school newspaper today, I saw an op-ed article by the lovely Theresa who I haven't seen in ages. She was writing about how apparently the Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest at the Parade of Gold? They apparently had signs that said "God Hates Michael Phelps."
Why? I don't get it. The parade was to honor Michael Phelps and Katie Hoff for winning lots of metals {so much so that if Towson split from the union, we'd have the 16th most metals in the world}. It had nothing to do with the war or the LGBT community or the Swiss.
So. Why? I looked it up on their website I couldn't find anything.
I guess this is just another incident that goes to show that Westboro finds whatever happens to be popular/celebrated/talked about and decides that god hates whatever it is. And they looooooooove publicity.
But don't they usually have a stated reason for rolling out the hate parade?
