Cool Thing We Want #281: “God Hates Bags” Shopper At Gastown’s Nelson The Seagull

You know those frightfully backwards asshats of the Westboro Baptist Church? They’re the spotlight-loving geniuses from Topeka, Kansas who picket military funerals and such with hate-filled signs that read, among other rancid things, “God Hates Fags”.

Where to find one in Vancouver? Nelson The Seagull | 315 Carrall St. | Gastown
