    They already protested his Kansas City one a few days ago. They seriously need to knock off their crap. But yeah, Justin's one was a little crazy. The police had to evacuate the church group for their own safety. :lol:

    Really? What's so bad about Justin Beiber? What did he do? I doubt he even cares about gays and lesbiens.

    I can only say that Justin Beiber doesn't even deserve to be protested by the same people that protest GaGa's shows :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    They do sound like crackpots, these Westboro people. I'm pretty sure we have a splinter group, or else a group who really look up to them, here in Northern Ireland. They picketed our Pride parade today, and decreed how homosexuality was an abomination, and equated it to murder.
    Most people here are quite hardened to that sort of thing; it sort of pervades life - the general bigotry. It's hard to do anything else in a society which allows its elected representatives to call homosexuality an abomination on public radio and compare us to child abusers in Westminster. Just Wikipedia "Iris Robinson" for the details.

    Although I don't care much for Bieber, I think he may have a large gay fan-base or something. Perhaps that's why these pathetic souls are protesting.

    The Church was protesting for two reasons.

    1) Bieber's from Canada, which has full rights/protection for LGBT people.
    2) According to them, he's been given a "platform from God" to speak the truth and save many souls, but he doesn't do that.

    Pretty much the same crap they said at the Lady GaGa concert.

    So Lady GaGa deserves the hate but JB doesn't? NEITHER of them should have to deal with that at their concerts.

    So they are protesting because the kid is famous and won't spread their word of hatred. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

    not what the person meant..the poster meant that gagas fans are far superior to JB fans..

    it was saying its an insult to compare gagas fans to those of bieber.

    No, I understood that correctly then.

    Either way, it's just an incorrect statement. Being a fan of GaGa doesn't make you any more "above" a Bieber fan. Having a different taste in music doesn't mean you're above any certain group.

    I just don't care what these people do anymore. We have to respect their right to say hateful things since this country is founded on freedom of speech. I am now just choosing to ignore them and not even deal with them. I dislike their message but by following them so much we give them power they don't have. Like a group of people have said on the WoW server I play on that was always making people angry, "Haters make us famous."

    Oh that argument.

    These people are just SAD. Thankfully they haven't been given a too big of platform.

    Not necessarily, there is such a thing as Hate Speech.
