The Wesboro Baptist Church of Topeka, KS has built their sterling reputation for batshittery by engaging in a continuous nationwide-tour of biblical homophobia, protesting the funerals of soldiers, productions of Rent, schools named after Walt Whitman, and any variety of high profile events that have nothing to do with homosexuality.
As I’ve written before, the Phelps [...]

Inspired by Obama Election, Former KKK Member Who Beat Rep John Lewis Asks for Forgiveness
