No More Protests for Westboro Baptist Church

This article was written by Melissa Jeltsen.
The article talks about how there is a new law in California stopping people from protesting funerals. This bill was targeted at the group known as the Westboro Baptist Church. I won`t talk about them much right now, I`ll get to them later. This new law takes effect on January 1st. So while still inactive, it still has a positive feeling to go with it right now. The Westboro Baptist Church is a religious organization which breeds hate and for years has protested the funerals of dead soldiers claiming that it was God's will because he hates homosexuals. The Westboro Baptist Church has stated that this legislation won`t stop their message, it will however stint their message, unless they find a more extreme way of communication. Gov. Jerry Brown signed this legislation, one year after vetoing another bill that was quite similar, due to issue's regarding free speech. The original bill was proposed by Sen. Ted Lieu but was not passed by the Supreme Court.

Now, lets get this out there right away, the Westboro Baptist Church is an evil, hate-breeding organization that are full of ignorance. As I said earlier, they have been protesting the funerals of soldiers stating that God killed them because America likes homosexuals. They don`t even have modesty of saying "homosexual". Their website is called "godhatesfags". They are famous for their infamous signs that they make and carry stating their God's hatred of homosexuals. The irony of it is that they actually say that they love gay people more than anybody else. They say they love them so much they are able to tell them to repent or else. A great documentary to watch is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOrz5k0jWdU
At times you can laugh at these people, at times you just cry. They are such an ironic bunch as well. After this rant of mine, I guess I can boil it down to this: The Westboro Baptist Church is evil, and this law is good...
