Hey, Stop That ! That's Gay !
Blaming the death of American soldiers on America’s expectants of the gay culture is an extreme theory. This is the conclusion a lot Westboro Baptist have come to when determining the reason for many lives lost in the Middle East. During many American soldiers funerals the Westboro church protest out front, screaming out loud their theory. A time when people are grieving over the lost of a love one; is when Westboro express their opinions and views. On the Frostburg State University campus a handful of students were asked about this matter. Kenar Johnson , an urban regional planning major, had this to say, “I believe in freedom of speech, but some where you have to draw the line.” Kenar also feels that Gay people are not pressing the Westboro Baptist church about their views, so they should not judge them on their lifestyle. Another student Lloyd Mcleave, a business major, had this to say, “I think that’s wrong.” When his friend Travis Oliver, Sociology major, was asked the same question he said, “That it’s ignorant.” Travis also feels that being judgmental goes against a lot of the Westboro Christian beliefs. Does it ever cross the mind of Westboro Baptist that soldiers are dying because we are at war, but hey that’s just a thought.
