Vince Gill confronts Westboro Baptist Church - "I wanted to see what hate looks like"


If nothing else, you can say that Westboro Baptist Church members are equal opportunity bigots when it comes to harassing not only LGBT leaders and allies, but entertainers as well.

WBC's latest target? Veteran country singer Vince Gill, who has drawn the ire of the extended Phelps clan - not for promoting sinful homosexuality but for having the NERVE to have divorced his first wife to marry Christian pop singer Amy Grant.

From Queerty:

As the haters congregated to protest Gill’s concert in Kansas City Sunday night, the entertainer strolled outside, as he put it, ” to see what hate looks life.”

Gill also had a pressing question he needed answered.

“Don’t you know that you fuckers are lucky that you don’t have a sign that says something about my wife?,” he asked.

“Don’t you know that divorce plus remarriage equals adultery?” a woman responded. “Jesus Christ said that.”

“Did he?” Gill replied. “You know what else he said? He said a lot of stuff about forgiveness, about grace. You guys don’t have any of that.”

Gill then gets in a final zinger.

“Are any of you guys Phelpses?” he demanded. “Or are you guys like the C team?” Snap!
