The English comedian debated two members of the homophobic far-right group, while his audience shouted admonishments at their anti-gay rhetoric. Russell Brand did the seemingly impossible: He brought together the Westboro Baptist Church and gay men on the same stage. Of course, it took a little bit of deception to do it. The WBC, run by Fred Phelps and known for protesting military funerals with signs splashed with anti-gay slogans, sent two members to Brand X, Brand's new show on FX. As the audience booed the men and their condemnation of homosexuality, Brand called for respect for the church members for their willingness to come to hostile territory.
