One Direction 'Perverts' Name Calling by The Westboro Baptist Church After Taylor Swift Insults
The Westboro Baptist Church called One Direction an "evil, perverted boy band" and plans to picket their upcoming concert.
The WBC is a religious, anti-gay group with a reputation for rallying at celebrity events and they are enraged at their newest target. The WBC announced Sunday they will be attending One Direction's concert in Kansas City July 19th to protest. In a recent post on their official website, titled "God hates fag enablers," the group expressed their hatred for the band.
"They are a perfect representation of this filthy world and the sin-chasing, f**-enabling, God-hating, Christ-rejecting UK who has banned WBC from preaching within her borders," the post read.
The statement came out following One Direction's ongoing joke about smacking one another's back sides on stage. The WBC, however, did not find their close comradery quite as funny.
"These freaks and their fans think it's funny for these five perverts to grab each other's asses on stage. They glamorize sin and make a mock of God's standards. Their one purpose is to encourage the youth of this generation to pursue every lust their evil hearts can imagine," the WBC continued.
In efforts to further spread their message, the group patronized One Direction in a parody of their song One Thing, replacing lyrics with words about obeying God's orders.
The extremist group's parody starts, "We'll be playing it cool/ When God's wrath is on you/ None of you will be brave/ When god ends this human race."
The announcement was made shortly after their verbal attack on Taylor Swift, calling her a "whore." The WBC said the country singer "works her 'girl next door' country-singer shtick, while hopping from one young man to the next and strutting across the world stage like a proud whore." They plan to picket her concert in Kansas City on Aug. 3.
One Direction comes out with their newest song titled Best Song Ever, July 22.
