Westboro Baptist Church Watches GLEE

This pic of a young girl from the Westboro Baptist Church wearing a Glee t-shirt at a recent protest has gained a lot of attention on the internet. The person who took the pic says “She told us she didn’t know anything about the shirt, but that her sister gave it to her when they headed out this morning.”

I wrote to Shirley Phelps-Roper of Westboro Baptist Church to see if they watched the TV show Glee and she responded- Yes. And what’s more, the middle name of the little girl in the pic is Gleeful. I’m not really sure if her actual middle name is Gleeful but I like the sentiment.

This is her full response- “Yes. We see so many people looking on Twitter. How sweet is that? It’s just the way to put the discussion before every corner of this nation. We could not write this script. The Lord our God did this!

We are so thankful and happy, how could that sweetheart NOT wear such a shirt. Her middle name is Gleeful.”

Since the holiday is upon us, I also asked her if the celebrate Christmas at WBC-

“As for Christmas, I’m thankful you asked. Christmas is pagan idolatry. We flee from idols, as God hates them. Put a bright line of separation between you and idols! We don’t do any of it. We take no part in it.”

    Where in Christianity is hate-mongering an involved practice? What are Fred Phelps and the WBC afraid of anyhow? Rainbows? Unicorns? A flaming pink queer apocalypse? I attempted to address this with a portrait of the good reverend on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/03/fred-phelps-and-westboro-baptist-church.html Drop in and let me know what you think!

    I’m actually surprised by this because they hate celebrating Christmas (their reasons justifiable this time), but they have someone on their ministry who watches a show with openly gay characters depicted as REAL PEOPLE. Hmf.
