An Oklahoma tornado that has claimed the lives of up to 91 people is being blamed on Jason Collins.

Fred Phelps Jr, the son of the leader behind the infamous Westboro Baptist Church, has linked homosexuality to the destructive natural disaster.

He said Oklahoma sportsman Kevin Durant offended God by saying ‘no one has the right to judge’ the first openly gay basketball player.

Phelps tweeted: ‘OK Thunder’s Durant flips God by praising fag Collins. God smashed OK. You do the math. #GodH8sFags #FagsDoomNations #FearGod #GodH8sU’

A Singaporean pastor has delivered a sermon titled God's Pattern for Marriage in front of 3,000 people in which he called the LGBT movement 'diabolical'.

'I believe that God has awakened to face one of the greatest attacks on the family by the evil one,' said Lawrence Khong.

Khong also called the LGBT rights movement the 'onslaught of the evil one'.

This was surely not the photo op members of the Westboro Baptist Church had in mind.

The notoriously anti-gay group, famous for their 'God Hates Fags' signs, showed up in Oklahoma City this week to protest at Game 5 of the NBA Quarterfinals where the city's team The Thunder faced the Houston Rockets.

Their protest stemmed from the coming out on Monday (29 April) of NBA player Jason Collins who most recently played for the Washington Wizards.

The pastor of a Harlem, New York, Baptist church has told a television panel that his faith based opposition to the concept of same-sex marriage should have no baring on who anybody else chooses to get married to and that he hopes the US Supreme Court rules in favor of that right.

Pastor Calvin Butts of Abyssinian Baptist Church made the comments while appearing on ABC TV’s This Week show, hosted by George Stephanopolous.

The anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church claims to like the LGBT rainbow home that is now across the street from them in Topeka, Kansas.

'We thank God for the Sodomite Rainbow House,' the church said in a statement today. 'It is right across the street from the ONLY church that loves people enough to tell them the Bible truth about the filthy, soul-damning, nation-destroying sin of sodomy...The Sodomite Rainbow house helps shing a bright spotlight on this!'

A former Westboro Baptist Church member has speculated the head pastor Fred Phelps could be gay, and that is why he created the ‘God Hates Fags’ church.

Lauren Drain, who spent seven years as a baptized member of the gay hate group protesting at soldiers’ funerals, was kicked out just before she was 22.

When members of the Westboro Baptist Church showed up at Santa Monica High School today to conduct an anti-gay protest, they were in for a huge surprise.

That surprise was a huge crowd that was on hand to counter-protest the group known to protest at military funerals carrying signs that say such things as 'God Hates Fags.'

The church had protested outside the Oscars on Sunday (24 February) and chose the high school in Santa Monica as its next target because of what it believes is the school's affirmation of LGBT students.

Tim Tebow won't be speaking at a Dallas mega-church with an anti-gay pastor after all.

The National Football League star, currently a back-up quarterback for the New York Jets, had been scheduled to speak at First Baptist Church of Dallas in April.

But the famous Christian jock has faced strong backlash since the appearance was announced because of anti-gay and other controversial statements made in the past by pastor Robert Jeffress.

A former Westboro Baptist Church member has posed for American gay rights campaign No H8.

Lauren Drain spent years as part of the ‘God Hates Fags’ church, known for picketing soldiers’ funerals.

She posed for the campaign aiming to promote marriage, gender and human equality across America.

Drain writes: ‘The main reason I posed for the NOH8 Campaign was in direct response to the judgments of the WBC.

Singapore pastor Lawrence Khong took the opportunity of a visit from a former prime minister to his 'megachurch' to warn about the 'looming threat' of the repeal of Section 377A which criminalizes gay sex.

Hundreds of people turned out to counter-protest members of the Westboro Baptist Church who had traveled to picket Maryland courthouses on Wednesday - the day courthouses began to perform same-sex marriages in the state.

The church posted online that it was targeting Maryland as it had been the first in the US to legalize same-sex marriage in a popular vote.

‘Westboro brings these words of warning, knowing they may be the last that you get,’ the group posted online.

Following their no-show at memorial services for victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, members of the Westboro Baptist Church have threatened to picket the funeral of two New York state firefighters who were shot and killed on Christmas Eve when they attended a house fire in the Rochester area.
