Westboro Baptist Church Claims Christians Are To Blame For 'Fag Marriage' (VIDEO)

The Westboro Baptist Church, an organization known for its anti-gay and anti-Semitic rhetoric, appears to be setting itself apart even from those who also follow the religion it claims to believe in.

In a video posted to YouTube this week, Westboro member Steven Drain delivers the group's inflammatory and surprising claim that Christians are to blame for what the controversial Church terms "fag marriage."

"What we mean is that mainline Christianity is chiefly to blame for legitimizing that filthy sin and elevating it to its status of acceptability in society," Drain claims.

• By okaying divorce, and thereby weakening the institution of heterosexual marriage

Jeremy Hooper of the Good As You blog reports that Drain, the video's narrator, is the father of Lauren Drain, a former WBC member who left the church and recently posed for the NOH8 equality campaign.

This is not the first time the WBC has made the claim that Christians are responsible for same-sex marriage in some way. In December, a twit picture that included a sign to that effect made the rounds on Twitter, much to the delight of WBC member Margie Phelps.
