Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) was founded in 1955 by Fred Phelps in Kansas, USA.
It gained notoriety for its views on various social issues, particularly its views on homosexuality and why ‘God hates fags’.
Summary
The church is known for its ‘extreme’ views, particularly its strong opposition to homosexuality, which it believes is the reason for God’s hatred of the world.
They have gained notoriety for protesting at various events and locations related to homosexuality, as well as natural disasters and wars, which they see as divine punishments.
Westboro’s funding comes primarily from member donations and aggressive litigation, particularly around free speech.
Fred Phelps died in 2014.
God hates fags. God hates fag enablers. Therefore, God hates America and this doomed world.
