Westboro Baptist Church Founder and Civil Rights Leader Fred Phelps Dies

Westboro Baptist Church Founder and Civil Rights Leader Fred Phelps Dies - christianpost.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Earlier this week Phelps' son, Nathan, an LGBT advocate, wrote in a Facebook post that his father had been excommunicated from the church in 2013. Nearly 60 years ago, in 1955, Phelps founded his controversial church in Topeka, Kan., which has gained notoriety in recent years for picketing soldiers' funerals, concerts and churches, which they see as condoning homosexuality. Members of the church, which is mostly composed of Phelps' extended family, are known for showing up with signs proclaiming 'Thank God for dead solidiers' and 'God hates fags.'"
