God Hates Fags church accuses gays of making it rain

Westboro Baptist Church say the weather will changeā€¦ and apparently itā€™s because of gays.

The anti-gay hate group, notorious for their aggressive homophobia and ā€˜God Hates Fagsā€™ slogans, are well known for their protests and pickets at events including funerals and weddings.

But this week they have turned their attention to the National Weather Service ā€“ one of Americaā€™s main bases for weather knowledge ā€“ for ā€œstealing Godā€™s gloryā€ by predicting the weather.

In a bizarre news release, which claimed the people working at the centre were ā€œweather reporting rebelsā€, they said:

ā€œWestboro Baptist Church will picket the National Weather Service to remind them that ONLY by Godā€™s mercy and power do you gather intelligence on His weather.ā€

The hate group did not stop with weather reporters though as they tried to clumsily tie this protest in with their broader campaign against LGBT people.

They went on to claim that the ā€˜weather rulesā€™ would soon be gone because: ā€œAmerica crossed the Rubicon when, by force of law, [they] permitted same-sex marriage.ā€

They ended their rant with their typically hate-filled assertion: ā€œGOD HATES PROUD SINNERS! NO SAME-SEX MARRIAGE!ā€

Earlier this week, the WBC were forced to flee after trying to protest a transgender homecoming queen.

The WBC have previously picketed the funeral of Vice President Joe Bidenā€™s son ā€“ and even threatened to picket the imaginary wedding of Dumbledore and Gandalf.

Earlier this year, a US pundit claimed that devastating floods in Texas were caused by gay people.

In the UK, UKIP last year sacked councillor David Silvester after he claimed flooding was Godā€™s punishment for same-sex marriage ā€“ however, it refused to drop Parliamentary candidate Ted Strike when it emerged he had also blamed bad weather on homosexuality.
