JK Rowling Trolled By Westboro Baptist Church Troll. Badly.

Westboro Baptist Church Just Tried To Troll JK Rowling And Lost Spectacularly

The perennially angry and oh-so homophobic Westboro Baptist Church attempted to troll JK Rowling on Tuesday evening and failed on a multitude of levels.

It all started with this story...

Things immediately got a bit weird when the WBC threatened to picket the imagined event between two fictional fantasy characters.

Undeterred at such stupidity, the Harry Potter author then set about... well, just read it...

Ouch...

@jk_rowling while i am in total agreement with you, giving them attention is counterproductive. that’s what they want.

I don't care about WBC. I think it's important that scared gay kids who aren't out yet see hate speech challenged. https://t.co/XumjDmEjuw

Rowling is well known for standing up for gay rights.

Back in March a fan asked her why Dumbledore was gay to which she gave this eloquent response...

And WBC are far from the first to attempt to take Rowling down and fail. In the aftermath of the general election, the Labour supporter was urged to leave Scotland by Cybernats many of whom used incredibly abusive language.

Fortunately Rowling is pretty adept with words...

Not to mention this gem.

And their defence was pretty poor.

The haters were far outnumbered buy supporters...

Bravo...
