The Westboro Baptist Church will protest at Reddit’s headquarters, but first, they’ll do an AMA

At this point, the anti-gay shenanigans of the Westboro Baptist Church are well known. Their penchant for protesting any and everything makes them predictable and predictably boring.

At the same time, you might get a kick out of this one:

After a former Westboro Baptist Church member did a tell-all Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Monday, the group has decided that Reddit is yet another spawn of sin that they must righteously protest.


They’ll picket outside the Reddit headquarters in San Francisco on August 12th. But not before they host their own Reddit AMA on August 10th.

So, to clarify, they will use Reddit software and servers to digitally reach internet users and then physically stand outside the corporate offices shaking their fists. But, then again, with the Westboro Baptist Church (famous for picketing funerals, praising the murder of elementary school children, and other vices), this lack of coherence of thinking or consistency in actions is fairly standard.
