Once an active member of Westboro Baptist church, 27-year-old Libby Phelps was kicked out of the congregation and family home in 2009. Libby was considered rebellious as she began questioning hypocrisies within the church; such as members being asked to pray in a form similar to Salah (Islamic method of praying) and calling to God for the death of various plaintiffs in the 2011 Snyder vs. Phelps case before the Supreme Court. The final decision was based on an intervention regarding her right to wear a bikini.
The photograph Libby is holding is of her and her sister Sara (on right), who was also asked to leave a few years later for not repenting for her “sins’ in an unrelated incident.
