Westboro Baptist Church Planning To Picket One Direction Gig In Kansas

Written by Elliott Batte
Following the failure of their proposed picketing of the funeral of Slayer star Jeff Hanneman, the Westboro Baptist Church have announced plans to demonstrate at a One Direction gig in Kansas in July.
The notorious bunch - famous for their ‘God Hates Fags’ signs and sick protests at the funerals of soldiers - have branded the X Factor boys "crotch-grabbing little perverts". According to the Independent, they’ve revealed that they’re planning to picket their gig in Kansas City’s Sprint Center on July 19.
The group said:
“[One Direction are] a perfect representation of this filthy world and the sin-chasing, fag-enabling, Christ-rejecting UK who has banned WBC from preaching within her borders. These freaks and their fans think it’s funny for these five perverts to grab each other’s asses on stage. They glamorise sin and mock of God’s standards. Their one purpose is to encourage the youth of this generation to pursue every lust their evil hearts can imagine.”
The 40-odd strong group have even gone to the rather childish lengths of creating their own version of One Direction’s hit single ‘One Thing’ featuring the lyrics: "We’ll be playing it cool/ When God’s wrath is on you/ None of you will be brave/ When God ends this human race."
