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.
‘I wanted to show people that despite having grown up within the cult and having spent a good portion of my life on the picket line, holding signs condemning our deceased soldiers, reveling in any and all forms of tragedy and simply striving to be hurtful in the name of God; that the WBC is wrong and what I did at the time was wrong!
‘I now try and lead by example, with love, compassion and an open mind.
‘Having done a complete 180, I still struggle with little things from time to time – but I know in my heart that I am now on the right path.
You know if a member of the most homophobic hate groups on the planet can make such dramatic change that is good news for everybody, and should give ALL of us hope for the future.
I see a day where homophobia will be eradicated from our country and where a person's sexuality is never even mentioned by the media, even if they are a famous performer or national political figure.
..."I still struggle with little things from time to time ..."
ReplyDeleteYeah. Religions have a way of doing that. Best move on to something else less hateful.

She looks like the lady with the C Cups that might need D Cups who's on MSNBC. Except for the duct tape on the mouth. Which wouldn't be a bad idea to have on hand for when Miss C Cupper has one cup of coffee too many and can't tone it down.
ReplyDeleteFat arms. Probably a big ole butt just like Moochie, too. Not toned and trim flappers like Queen Esther, who could run a marathon in her 9-inch heels, even stopping at ChikFilA during the race to pose with her adoring fans, and still win the race, finishing in under 2 hours. Sarah could win the Olympics marathon if she wanted to. Just like she could be president right now if she wanted to, cuz she said she could beat Obama for president. She just didn't want to at that moment because she was having too much fun with her family with that new bus her fans bought for her.

My husband I were fortunate enough to be able to participate in the NoH8 campaign when they came by. Our portrait is my favorite picture of the two of us. http://i.imgur.com/V3oAbLp.png
ReplyDeleteI give her a lot of credit! It must have took a great deal of courage to get out of that cult. Doing this shows that she's serious.
