Two left Westboro

[Pix]

Between the very unexpected apology I got a few months ago, the voters telling the combined Christian Right political machine to go screw themselves in 2012 (I believe the first time that's ever happened, and they sure seemed even more shocked by it than I was, which is funny given how often they go off on how persecuted they are), the Boy Scouts reconsidering their policy (even if I think that's because they're losing too much financial support by hanging on to bigotry), and now Westboro losing iconic members I'm really starting to think big changes are coming soon:

One former member even posed for NOH8:

For the details of why one left:

And in related (stale) news, iconic racists also abandoned racism and embraced the cause of medical marijuana instead:

Maybe we ARE entering the Age of Aquarius.

Westboro had been rumored to be losing members for a while now, HUZZAH for confirmations! They are on the way out, but then who will Fred scream his epithets upon?

it's about time they came to their senses.

I always assumed West Baptist would end with kool-aid or something similar.

I guess Amerika is catching up to the 21st century....

Don't say that.
It's not over yet.

There have been many a rumour how controlling and abusing Fred is.

Wow, Megan was one of the more outspoken girls. Though when I watched a documentary on them, in which she was interviewed.. I did sense a sort of sadness about it all. Interesting. Glad a few of them have come to their senses.

Lol I love how they have a website called 'godhatessweden.com' it's so specific and ridiculous. xD

I'm always of the view that some idiots wake up......a lot more will pop up to replace them.....do NOT dance or celebrate yet.

Hatred has a way of regrouping and continuing to grow.

Its about time they saw sense and left, although I can understand it can be seen as a huge sacrifice on their part for practically losing a family (even if it is that family).

I found this interesting and inspirational as well. To severe ties with their own family must be terribly hard.. but clearly they are strong human beings if they can rise above what was taught to them their entire lives and go in a new direction. I can only hope this trend continues and others in this "church" wake up..
