NEW YORK - JULY 4: Shirley Phelps-Roper holds up signs as she joins fellow members of the Westboro Baptist Church, from Topeka, Kansas, as they protest across the street from Ground Zero July 4, 2004 in New York City. The church members believe that because of homosexuals and America's rebelious and immoral conducts, God has brought on acts of terrorism as a way of punishing society.
