Westboro Church To Protest Constance McMillen's Graduation
May 22, 2010This young lady at such a young age is being harrassed, tormented, and discrminated by ADULTS! YES ADULTS! This is the most shameful thing that I have seen a school and a church do.
McMillen sued the Itawamba County School District after it decided to cancel the Itawamba Agricultural High School (IAHS) prom dance for junior and senior students rather than allow McMillen to attend with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which represented the 18-year-old in court, claimed victory in a March ruling by US District Judge Glen H. Davidson. Davidson agreed that the Fulton, Mississippi school had violated McMillen's rights, but refused to force the school to hold the event.
“WBC will picket the graduation of Itawamba Agricultural High School to remind the parents, teachers and students of this nation that God said 'Thou shall not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination,'” the church said in announcing the protest.
“This generation has been raised to believe that they can live for the devil and still go to heaven, that God has no standards and the biggest lie of all – that God loves everyone.”
“The parents of Fulton, MS feign outrage that a filthy dyke wants to parade her 'girlfriend' around at their night of fornication called a prom,” the church added. “They had a duty to teach their children what the Lord requires of them. They shirked this duty.”
All I have to say is to Westboro Church is that I will be making the world known to your hateful preachings. I will be blogging about thsi church and bringing more awareness to its bigotry.
