According to their Twitter account as well as the accounts of some of their leaders, the Westboro Baptist Church plans to picket next Sunday’s Super Bowl in New Orleans between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49er’s, calling it “the Fag Bowl.”
Outraged by the avocation of gay marriage by Ravens’ linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo as well as the vast gay population of San Francisco, the organization filled their tweets last night with the hate and name calling that has characterized the group known for picketing funerals of fallen soldiers.
Warning: Tweets contain homophobic slurs:
Answer is preach against divorce (like WBC does), not anger God by pushing fag filth, you idiot football “player.” huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2013…
