Anti-Westboro church protestors hold ‘Sorry for your loss’ sign at gig

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church demonstrated outside the Lorde concert in Kansas City Friday night, but a group of counter protesters had a more powerful message.

‘Sorry for your loss,’ read a sign held by anti-Westboro demonstrators, referring to the death last week of the church’s longtime pastor Fred Phelps.

‘We realized that it wasn’t so much about antagonizing them,’ Megan Coleman, who helped make the sign, told KSHB News. ‘But sending out the countered (statement) that we are here for people who need that message and need that positivity.’

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
