Former Westboro member poses for NOH8 campaign
By Josh Haggis
A former member of Westboro Baptist Church has posed for the NOH8 campaign.
The NOH8 campaign was created by photographer Adam Bouska four years ago, shortly after the passing of anti-gay legislation Proposition 8 in California, and has been supported by celebrities such as Ricky Martin, Idina Menzel and Josh Hutcherson.
Libby Phelps, grandchild of the late Westboro Baptist Church leader Fred Phelps, left the notorious anti-gay organisation, known for its ‘God Hates Fags’ tagline, in 2009.
Phelps posted her campaign photo to Twitter, along with the caption: “The message is simple: No hate. We want people to be happy, healthy and hopeful.”

Westboro Baptist Church recently recorded their own version of Let It Go, the Oscar-winning song from Disney’s Frozen – attempting to turn it into a protest song against gay marriage.
