Lambert makes-out to protest Westboro Baptist Church
Adam Lambert’s concert on Saturday was unexpectedly NOT met with protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church.
Lambert fans in Missouri were ready to counter-protest, bringing over 200 people holding signs like, “It’s okay to be gay.”
Lambert himself went outside before the concert to greet the dedicated group. According to the Daily Kos he signed autographs onto protest signs as he thanked supporters.
Later, he tweeted “Amazing Anti-Hate protest outside venue. Completely outnumbered the Westboro Bastard Church of Ignorance. Love overcomes hate. I LOVE FAGS!!”
The Westboro Baptist Church is known for their “God Hates Fags” signs.
During the show Lambert kissed bass-player Tommy Joe Ratliff and said, “Suck on that, Westboro.”
The News-Leader of Springfield, Missouri quoted a protester from Oklahoma City Julie Willits:“If the world had more people who were just as kind as Adam Lambert, you wouldn’t need this crap. All this stuff he’s put up with, he never once turned around and said ‘I hate you guys, too.”
It is unclear why the Westboro Baptist Church didn’t show up to their scheduled protest.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS MAN.
