Lady GaGa’s creating a new web buzz this week. After posting a note on her Facebook page addressed to the Westboro Baptist Church, the said group was not a big fan of hers. She said “that the groups of protesters are all hate criminals; they preach using lewd violent language and imagery that I wish to protect you all from. Their message is about hatred and divisiveness, but inside at the Monsterball we preach love and unity.”
The Westboro Baptist Church is an Independent Baptist Church and a hate group that was founded by Fred Phelps in 1955. Their headquarters is located in Topeka, Kansas, United States. This group is famous for their anti-homosexuality and protest activities, picketing stints at funerals and desecrating the American Flag.
For those of you wondering why Lady GaGa is going gaga over this group… they were at the Monsterball concert last Saturday night at ST. Louis’ Scottrade Center waving their placards with the “God hates Lady GaGa” signs.
They believe that Lady GaGa uses her art and fashion to teach and promote rebellion against God. Lady GaGa ended her note with these words of wisdom: “Although I respect and do not judge anyone for their personal views on any politics or religion, this group in particular to me is violent and dangerous. I wanted to make my fans aware of my views on how to approach, or rather not approach, these kinds of hate activists.”
