Fred Phelps Calls Lady Gaga a Slut
By Darryl Williams on Saturday, 26th December 2009
Fred Phelps, the leader of Westboro Baptist Church, best known for picketing the funerals of deceased soldiers and trying to deny equal rights to gays and lesbians, has turned his attention and PR machine to pop culture by calling Lady Gaga a ’slut.’
The Daily Telegraph out of Australia reports that Phelps said that Lady Gaga is going to hell for her rebellion against God.
A release issued by the church says:
“Her claim to the title of ‘Lady’ is sound only if she tacks on ‘of the night.’ Does the simple slut truly think she can change God’s standards by seducing a generation of rebels into joining her in fist-raised, stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion against Him? Get real!”
The group even plans to picket her concert at Fox Theatre in Missouri on January 7th.
Westboro turned their focus towards Gaga after a speech she gave at the National Equality March, which she ended with “Bless God and bless the gays.”
As a side note, can an organization really be considered a church when their website is godhatesfags.com? Last time we checked, God is all about love.

fred phelps should not be talking sh*t about lady gaga and the gays!!! leave her alone…..everyone has there own opinions and beliefs so DONT go around telling people crap about lady gaga!!!! what the hell did she ever do to u!!!!!
This Fred Phelps is just trying to get ride on all these he so called “PR machine” to get famous and get hits for his bullshit talk, gays are still human, they contributed what we are having too, Lady Gaga just did something YOU are afraid of, you could not shut her mouth and we are opening our eyes now. Bless God and Bless gays, and Gaga, go to hell FP if you cannot accept all this, dun live here. She is so phenomenon, because she is de-stressing us and make us a space to breathe and see the real world !!!
What a moronic idiot. Mr. Phelps doesn't know the depth or intelligence of Lady Gaga's fan base and is really not worth the time I took to type this.
I wish I was going to the concert he's picketing at! Oh the shit I would throw at him!!
Omg this guy is the reason religion is a JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! F*CK HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he deserves to have bricks thrown at him, seriously.
Just another nutter trying to force his benighted views on the rest of us. Fred Phelps is a bad joke–almost a one-family stereotype of the sorts of people we GLBTQ people have to deal with on a daily basis.
Fred, let me give you a hint: Lady Gaga is far more a lady than any of the Phelps women will ever be.
Just remember, old Fred ain't long for the world. Everyone save up so we can all go picket his funeral.
Oh how gloriously bittersweet that would be!
