Apparently "God hates Canada," and that's something members of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church believe the Blue Jays might want to know.
The gay-bashing church group, infamous for its vile protests of soldier funerals, plans to protest the Blue Jays game in Kansas City.
Members want to let us "depraved Canadians" know we're doomed for giving our country over to "sodomite filth," and so on and so forth, according to a statement.
It's a rare opportunity for the merry band of raging haters.
The church is based not far away, in Topeka, Kan. And since Canada has denied Westboro members the opportunity to protest north of the border, screaming at our baseball players is as close as they can get.
"How in God's name can you 'he men' baseball players -- known for your physical prowess -- stand by like a bunch of sissies in the face of what God calls an 'abomination,'" the group posted online, referring to our same-sex marriage laws.
Ironically, the son of the now-deceased founder of the church, Fred Phelps, lives in Calgary. He fled his father's group of bigots when he was 18 years old.
It’s a natural mistake—they thought the team was named the “Blue Gays.”
hahaha, gotta hand it to these whackos—they keep chugging along.
