Westboro Baptist Church met with counter-protesters at Roosevelt High School

Описание: Westboro Baptist Church out of Topeka, Kansas was met with counter-protesters at Roosevelt High School on Monday.

The group made their way to the Central Valley to protest against LGBTQ+ students outside the school.

And, the LGBTQ+ community, advocates, and supporters came out to show support to the students.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled the church a hate group.

"We're just here as a shield between their hateful public preaching and their students," said Jennifer Cruz, a community advocate who showed up.

We spoke to a representative by phone, who said the group is out every day, at schools around the world, spreading their message and the word of God.

"I think it's really important that we continue to show up and turn out for our youth...things like where we protect them and say hey, you're okay and God loves them. It's really suicide prevention for a lot of people," Cruz said.
