Have you ever thought something was unfair, but everyone around you believed otherwise? For many years, marriage was seen as a religious and legal contract between a man and a woman. However, in recent years the American population has increasingly accepted the idea that homosexuality exists and is equal. Although most states do not allow same-sex marriage, today there are fifteen states that give same-sex couples the right to marry, and also receive all the rights enjoyed by heterogeneous couples. Even if states do not have marriages, many states may have domestic partnerships or civil unions as alternatives. For those who fight against injustice against homosexuals and for those in favor of homosexual activities, these civil and cohabiting unions are not enough. On the other hand, we see the position taken by the Westboro Church in its hatred towards homosexuals. While most people, myself included, are in favor of gay marriage, I think it's important to understand the opposition. Therefore, I have decided to write my final report on the Westboro Baptist Church and its ideologies against homosexuals, Jews, Catholics and the military. The main focus will obviously be the church's sentiment against homosexuality because many of its demonstrations focus on this issue. Who is Westboro Baptist Church made up of? What do they believe? Well, in 1955 Fred Phelps created the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) in Topeka, Kansas. The Westboro Baptist Church follows the Primitive Baptist tradition, which contains a very conservative ideology and practice. In the eyes of many people this congregation is considered extremist and labeled as a sect because their idea of ​​injustice goes against popular belief...... middle of paper......many demonstrations in different synagogues and Jewish communities that they explain “God hates Jews”, “God hates Israel” and “Jews killed Jesus”. They feel justified because they practice their religious beliefs, which are protected by the free exercise clause as long as they comply with city and federal laws. Looking at the media's portrayal of the Westboro Baptist Church, you might think that they are radical extremists who can't get their point across. I would consider the movement itself in attempting to change policy and go against the majority as a failure, however, I believe the opposite when it comes to the use of church tactics. I believe their tactics and methods to gain attention are actually brilliant and effective. The Westboro Church knows how to be controversial and get media attention by using the right words to say.
