Westboro Baptist Church Plans Cranston Protest against Gay Marriage

Declaring the country is stupid and asking the United States population if they can read, the Westboro Baptist Church announced they plan to protest Rhode Island's recently-passed gay marriage law at Cranston City Hall.

The protest is planned for Aug. 1 at 8 a.m.

"The Lord Jesus Christ said marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman for life," the church said in a statement. "This stupid country thinks it can, by popular vote, and a ruling by the Godless United States Supreme Court overrule Jesus Christ when it comes to fag marriage. How stupid is that?"

Additional protests are planned in Providence and Pawtucket.
