Police Officer Kisses Boyfriend at WBC Protest

The Westboro Baptist Church, infamous for their ‘God Hates Fags’ slogan, were protesting at Washington DC Pride when a uniformed police officer kissed his boyfriend in front of their picket line.

The officer in question is a one D.J. Salter of Arlington, who was photographed kissing his boyfriend Mark Raimondo.

The pair told The Gaily grind that they “wanted to show everyone that you should be proud of who you are regardless what some people think.”

The Westboro Baptist Church tweeted the following in response:
