WBC member running for seat on KS Board of Education

I think Jason Wu (from his last name and bad photo) must be the little guy who asked to join the WBC in one of the latest documentaries on the family - I think this was about 2 years ago or so. He was from San Franscisco, and although he was obviously Asian-born, from his accent, had the weirdest little campy lisp on top of it. * He professed to be sincere but couldn't really express himself when asked why he wanted to join the church. Shirley Phelps- Roper seemed really skeptical about him on camera and I have to say I felt the same; it was like he was some queer man trying to infiltrate the group but didn't have the intelligence/ social acumen/familiarity with English to do so successfully. He just gave out this vibe of not being quite right, and I actually thought that he'd open fire on them or something if they let him into the fold. I guess he checked out OK with Gramps in the end, although that's not really an endorsement.

I hope he's not some unstable gay man who will try to murder the group, or some kind of "ex-gay" trying to avenge himself on his old community. Either only benefits the WBC ( who totally want to be martyred) and sets the LGBTQ movement back a decade or so until it's forgotten.

* I know that not all gay men in the world lisp, nor do they all come from San Fran. I also know that fundies often are unintentionally camp ( see Philips, Doug) - but I have known gay men who deliberately cultivated the "gay voice" for one reason or another.

Correct he was in Louis Theroux's last documentary about the WBC.

I'm surprised WBC members don't homeschool their kids.
