The strange thing is, all that Phelps hate brought out the love in people:
Westboro Baptist Church members were met with a notable counter-protest at their first protest since the group’s founder died: a sign that read “sorry for your loss.”
Counter-protesters held up the sign at a Westboro Baptist Church protest of a Lorde concert in Kansas City, the first protest by the group since founder Fred Phelps died. More than 20 Westboro Baptist Church members were protesting the Lorde concert.
“We realized that it wasn’t so much about antagonizing them but sending out the countered safe that we are here for people who need that message and need that positivity,” Megan Coleman, who helped make the sign, said according to Kansas’ KSHB.
The message didn’t get across to all Westboro members.
“I don’t even know what they’re saying,” Westboro Baptist Chuch member Steve Drain said.
