Title: Westboro Baptist Church will picket lesbian student's graduation
Post by: Chris on April 28, 2010, 02:53:03 PM

The Westboro Baptist Church has announced it will picket the graduate of lesbian student Constance McMillen, who challenged her school's anti-gay policy.

The Kansas-based church, which has achieved notoriety for picketing the funerals of dead soldiers, is vehemently homophobic.

In a press release, it said: “[We] will picket the graduation of Itawamba Agricultural High School to remind the parents, teachers and students of this nation that God said 'Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination'.

I am mildly amused.

Could get interesting....especially if the graduation ceremony is held on the school grounds.

I don't think school grounds are as "public" as cemetaries are....though maybe they are except when school is in session.

None of these things would have happened if she kept her mouth shut.

Why did that just bring up scary images?

Stupid is as stupid does.  I consider it a well-deserved lesson.

Well, the attention whore was looking for attention.  Be careful what you wish for, sweet cheeks. :II:

Sad thing is they might be stupid enough to actually do something and turn this whole thing into another win for her.

Ok....just checking.  So, because that girl acted like a twit, and not what we would like her to act like, or behave like....it is ok for that effer at Westboro to bring his message of hate to a High School Graduation?

They are filth..whether they protest at military funerals or if they protest students.  They are pure filth and they don't get a pass on this from me.

S'what I was trying to say, I just didn't get as downright eloquent as you, so I will just say:  Ditto.

Agreed! I think Phelps is a repressed homosexual and adulterer. Talk about denial right there! By the way, Shirley Phelps-Roper has an illegitimate son. He's no different from Jim Jones, Charles Manson, and Osama bin Laden.

Kinda sounds like 2 pushy, intolerant, loudmouthed, "holier-than-thou" groups will be meeting head-on.  In this case, while I think Westboro is a group of child-abusing scum, they have their First Amendment right...a right McMillen has already perverted in her court case.  Maybe they do deserve each other.

They make perfect company with each other.

Perhaps in private.  I mean, yeah, she is a stupid kid, who did a very stupid thing, and I am not endorsing her behavior or what she did, but everyone else who graduates with her is going to not only have their prom ruined, but now their graduation.  What would you say/do if it was your kid graduating?  Perhaps the school should disallow her from graduating with her class?  I think it is honorable of the school to allow her, and it teaches a lesson, not in being PC, but taking the high road.

Phelps should be hung from the nearest tree.  He is a bully, point blank.

The fact that anyone condones his behavior only because it suits their agenda makes me sick.

Maybe the'll send this girl to a phoney graduation so the rest of the students can have their actual ceremony undisturbed?   :tongue: :hammer:

Seriously tho... Anything the WBC does, I oppose.  I don't care if this chick is an attention whore.  If a WBC shithead decides to wipe his own ass, I oppose the action.  Those people are the second lowest forms of life on earth next to baby killers.  All Americans who holds any of our servicemembers in any kind of esteem should be with me on this.

Well, you said it better than I did.  So, thanks!

This one is on me.

I'm hoping Westboro gets their proverbial clock cleaned.

I don't care who does it...whether it's members of the Patriot Guard or a bunch of gay/lesbian rights supporters.

Somebody...JUST DO IT!!

Compared to Phelps, this junior carpetmuncher is a raw amateur in the attention whore business.

At least this "protest" has the advantage of being actually aimed at it's "intended target" - homosexuals, and arguably militant homosexuals - this time.  I'm still trying to understand the Phelpsian logic of "God hates fags, so I'm going to go protest at the funerals of some of the most heterosexual individuals this country has ever produced".

I'm not saying that I wouldn't cheer wildly if the WBC protesters found themselves picketing in a minefield, but this does make more sense than 99% of anything they've done before.

I honestly don't think anyone condones his behavior.  I don't condone the behavior of McMillen, either.  Both are perfect libs, so self-centered, they don't see or care how much damage they cause.  In that way, and only that way, they deserve each other.  However, the rest of that class doesn't.  I think, if I were the school, I'd find a way to have a closed graduation...maybe in a local church.   :-)

Fred Phelps, Lori Drew, Michael Crook, South Hadley 6, Casey Anthony, and Osama bin Laden are the scum of humanity and deserve each other.

To anyone who condones and defends them, here is a message for you.

This group may have finally bitten off more then they can chew.

I am trying to figure out how the interruption of the WORD works for them.

Where did the idea that any man or woman killed in battle is gay and deserves to die?

If for instance one of their homes were on fire and a gay fireman died to rescue their lives, would they picket his funeral.?

I cannot see how they could possibly go through with the plan to picket that little girls graduation.  By doing so they would be headed out away from their agenda that is small, nasty and before they can turn around they will themselves battling to keep their own noses clean.

Question, do they use a Gay Doctor, Dentist, Drugest, do they buy their gas, clothing and food from the Gay owner or manager of the stores they use.?

They are just asking for trouble, life is short and there is no guarantee that everyone of their members will live forever.   I picture the untimely death of one of them and their funeral being picketed by people holding signs reading, God Hates Closet Gays,  Death to Pedophiles, The penalty for Incest is Death.

So what if the member is 90 years old or 5 years old, an Eye for an Eye.
