Less Than Jake show protested

Ska punk legends Less Than Jake have been protested against by members of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church outside a show of theirs in Florida. The Kansas-based organisation is infamous for its radical anti-homosexuality views and recently received attention in the US for planning to picket the funeral of a nine year old victim who was killed during the Arizona massacre in January.

In 2009, the group also picketed an All Time Low show in Philadelphia. Less Than Jake's drummer Vinnie Fiorello tweeted, "Why would Westboro Baptist Church protest a Less Than Jake show? #3out5membersloveanalandtheother2lovesatan." The picketers reportedly claimed to be protesting "adulterers, womanizers and blasphemers."

Less Than Jake were last in Australia for Soundwave 2011.
