Well, their official name is "God Hates Fags" or something like that, which is why the media never uses it...

I'm certainly not a supporter of the gay agenda, but Phelps and his crowd are idiots. They reinforce every negative stereotype about Christianity and conservatism, and they therefore do harm to all of US.

Well, their official name is "G-d Hates Fags" or something like that, which is why the media never uses it..."G-d Hates Fags" is only the name of their website. If you go to that site you will see that the only names they refer to themselves as are Westboro Baptist Church or WBC.

Two sided question that begs to be asked. If Phelps' church is an anti-gay hate goup what are the people that make up GLADD and the radical homosexual community? Boy Scouts?
Oh no. What have I said now?

the news refers to them as an anti-gay hate
group ... could just have easily called them an anti-adultery group
GODHATESFAGS on their signs is an act of self-labeling, I'd say.
Hates groups are as hate groups do.

GODHATESFAGS on their signs is an act of self-labelingAgreed. However, I am sure that's one of MANY signs, for any number of lifestyles, beliefs, or religons that they disagree with. It's just that THIS story is the one they choose to go after now.
