Unfollow by Megan Phelps-Roper

Imagine that you are five years old and told to pick out your sign so you can picket with the rest of your family and congregation spreading a message like - God hates Fags or Death to Fags. Megan along with her many siblings was taught hate, bigotry and unflinching loyalty to the church her grandfather began and was the pastor of. The Westboro Baptist Church made up almost in its entirety of family members was well known for their absolute hatred and broad spread of that message of hate. This was the only world Megan knew and she was taught to obey her parents, never stray from the gospel and absolute obedience to the church. It is no wonder that it wasn't until she was in her twenties that Megan and one of her sisters began to have doubts and knew they had to flee. From the ashes of hate, she has risen like a phoenix to spread a much different message - one of love and acceptance.
