You are right about the publicity. I used to live near Topeka and went to church at the First Lutheran ELCA Church in Topeka. The fine doobs of Westboro Baptist spent many of their Sunday mornings picketing our church, rather than going to their own, because our congregation was open to gays. They are publicity hounds who have been known to harass people when they confront them. The church is mostly made up on one extended family, the Fred Phelps clan. Phelps is a disbarred lawyer, and one of his daughters is a practicing attorney who has refined the art of tying up anyone trying to block them in litigation. They picket around Topeka almost daily and unfortunately have become almost a common sight. Read more about these dweebs if you care to:
