News: Westboro Church reacts to 'pro-gay' fundraiser

The Westboro Baptist Church has responded to one little girl's campaign to raise money for peace the only way they seem to know how: with a homophobic jab.

Over the weekend, the story of Jayden Sink and her lemonade stand went viral online, with thousands of people sharing news of how a 5-year-old took on the Westboro Baptist Church.

As The Huffington Post previously reported, Jayden is the daughter of Jon Sink, founder of the philanthropic arts group FRESHCASSETTE - Creative Compassion. The two decided to sell lemonade outside the Equality House -- a rainbow-colored dwelling owned by nonprofit Planting Peace that campaigns for human rights, gay rights and anti-bullying efforts -- to raise money for peace and love Saturday.

The Equality House sits across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church's Topeka, Kan., compound, and the anti-gay, quasi-religious group was none too happy with Jayden's event. Members from the group apparently attempted to call the local police and later stooped to yelling profanities at lemonade drinkers.

On Monday, Westboro members took things to a new low when they posted an anti-gay message on their marquee, reading: "**** & ENABLERS ALL BURN IN HELL LEMONADE WON'T COOL ANY TONGUES."

Of course, we all know who the real winner is. To date, Jayden has helped raise more than $16,000 for Planting Peace and the Equality House with an online campaign through Crowdrise. She plans to set up her stand outside the Equality House on more hot summer days in the future.

Planting Peace founder Aaaron Jackson wants everyone to remember this is a story about peace and not about retribution, he told HuffPost in a separate email Monday. Jayden simply sought to spread goodwill, something Westboro chooses not to do,

"I believe that Jayden's story of spreading love and peace by raising awareness and money by way of a little pink lemonade stand is why so many people have embraced the story and felt compelled to take part in the movement."

WBC continues to spew hatred as the rest of the world gradually stops caring.

Good for the girl collecting the money for a good cause!

Stop giving them attention.

Good for the girl.
But what is up with the Westboro Baptist Church, can they get it together for once? All I know is karma is coming for them.

I'm still convinced that Margie and Shirley know how to munch their way out of a carpet. I'm sure they give Ellen and Rosie a run for their money.

In any event, they aren't even worth my time.

They always preach hate and intolerance yet the book their citing speaks of love and acceptance? So because I'm either Gay, Bi, Lesbian, Transgender etc.. I'm going to hell? Even if I've done nothing but good deeds? Going by their faith, They will go to Hell for not spreading the good words of the Bible.

In the eyes of our father, the almighty, you aren't exactly doing good deeds through your activities. So, yes they are well within their rights to preach their scripture

Please be trolling

Stop trying to instigate a fight.

Are you that thirsty for attention? Everyone knows you don't believe in what they're saying. Like go pick flowers outside or something.

Igrt

I really have no words for this.

Everyone KNOWS the WestNile Baptist CULT are a bunch of inbred 'christian' 'billies with no common sense.

Why are you being rude?

Do i believe in the orthodox way of life? yes

Do i belittle/chastise those who don't? no

So yes, in some ways i agree with them & at times i don't. Everyone can have their own opinion, you know?

Let me google Westboro Baptist Church
...

OH MY Westboro penis..............................

jax.

WBC is the most ******** organization out there. I'm not going to call it a church because that's not what it is. It spreads hatred and I hope the next generation of kids raised in that church leave and expose them like the other ones have.
