I don't mean to speak for anyone else, but isn't that the point being made?
We do deal with adultery differently today than we did back then, but we have been told that it was "the word of god". Was the word of god wrong? It must have been, or if not, people who don't follow those rules aren't following the word of god.
These Westboro people are clearly deranged, but I think you could make a legitimate case for "god hates f@gs" by reading the old testament. I don't know about the new one though.
