An unidentified member of the Westboro Baptist Church holds aloft the church's well-known anti-gay picket sign, declaring that "God Hates Fags", a religiously-themed denigration of homosexuals.

The church's tenets include the belief that the current ails of the world are God's punishment for Western tolerance of gays, including gay rights and same-sex marriage. It has been known for displaying its signs at the funerals of soldiers of the Iraq War. Both the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center classify Westboro as a hate group.
