Hyper-Calvinist hate group. It is
known for engaging in inflammatory homophobic and
anti-American pickets, as well as hate speech
against atheists, Jews, Muslims, transgender people,
and numerous Christian denominations. It is a
Baptist church that is not affiliated to any Baptist
denomination and has been denounced by the Baptist
World Alliance, the Southern Baptist Convention, and
other mainstream Christian denominations. WBC has
been involved in actions against gay people since
1989, later seeking a crackdown on homosexual
activity at Gage Park near its headquarters. In
addition to conducting anti-gay protests at military
funerals, the organization pickets celebrity
funerals and public events. Protests have also been
held against Jews, Mormons, and Catholics. Many
protests have included WBC members defacing the
American flag, flying the flag upside down on a
flagpole, and holding protest signs with
inflammatory statements; the most notable of which
being "God hates fags" and "Thank God for dead
soldiers". WBC is monitored as such by the
Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law
Center.
