Warped Tour takes a stand against the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas City
[Photo by: Bryce Hall]
Warped Tour hit Kansas City today, and they caught word that the Westboro Baptist Church, which is known for its homophobic and racist remarks, would be protesting the event. So, the Warped Tour crew decided to protest the organization in the best way.
Check out some of the incredible photos below!

Not to mention, Garrett Russell of Silent Planet had an incredible response, saying he’d be sharing fried mini donuts and Monster water (hoping maybe they’d grow up and just read or vape, as one does):
Or maybe I'll give them a can of monster water. I'm pretty sure that would offend them, but they'll need water to wash down the mini donuts.

Once they experience fried mini donuts and water from a monster can, maybe they'll grow up and do something cool instead. Like read or vape?

Mason Marble, Too Close To Touch:
What should I yell at the Westboro Baptist Church today?

Kelen Capener, The Story So Far:
I find it ironic that the Westboro Baptist Church signs say “GOD HATES FAGS” when FAGS is the acronym for “Fanatics w/ Anti Gay Signage”
