Big-dollar verdict won't stop Phelps's antigay crusade: $10.9 million jury award
It’s going to take more than a $10.9 million jury award to stop pastor Fred Phelps and his Kansas church from picketing military funerals with antigay signs. In fact, his daughter said November 1 that the verdict will only push them forward.
“We are the No. 1 story on Google around the world,” said Shirley Phelps-Roper, daughter of Westboro Baptist Church’s pastor. “You can’t buy that kind of advertising, even with $10.9 million.”
