The Bilerico Project | Daily experiments in LGBTQ

Sometimes you just have to smile at the snarky, fun skewering of the anti-LGBT right.

Activists Joe Decker and Ryland Sanders have created my new favorite parody site called "God Hates Shrimp", a smart poke at people like Fred Phelps, NOM, and other fundie hate groups who use the Bible to beat the community over the head. It's an old argument given new flair by these creative folks.

The front page reads:

Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination. Why stop at protesting gay marriage? Bring all of God's law unto the heathens and the sodomites. We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver's and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye's shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.

The site has complete Bible verses against shellfish (oh, Leviticus- you give us so many rules). It also has some great pictures of anti-shrimp protesters, church signs, and other fun things that show the absurdity of the anti-gay right.

The press page even lists "attacks" from the "liberal media" and fake press releases. The anti-shrimp folks even have a Facebook page set up.

Having had multiple run-ins with Westboro Baptist Church, this site could easily be featured on their "God Hates Fags" site. The ridiculousness of the arguments, the mean-spirited language- it's all there.

So go to the site and:

Pinch the Tail, Suck the Head, and Burn in Hell.

Sounds like a fun time, right?
