BALTIMORE (AP) - The head of a fundamentalist Kansas church being sued over a funeral protest testified in Baltimore today.
Fred Phelps of Topeka's Westboro Baptist Church said he didn't consider whether children would see a sign carried by protesters with the words "Semper Fi Fags" and two stick figures that appear to be engaged in a sex act.
Phelps says they needed to warn to the country to change its wicked ways.
Under cross-examination, Phelps agreed his presence was NOT wanted at the funeral and he could have protested somewhere else.
Phelps' group is being sued by Albert Snyder, of York, Pennsylvania, over a protest at the funeral of his son, Marine Lance Corporal Matthew Snyder.
Albert Snyder is seeking unspecified monetary damages for invasion of privacy and intent to inflect emotional distress.
I think you’re on to something...
They’re disgusting. Agent provocateurs for the sodomite left that make decent opponents of the left look bad. If they aren’t aware how much they are *helping* the fairies,the effect is still the same.
