Two key members of the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church have left the fold and apologized for their past.

Megan Phelps-Roper and her sister Grace, the daughters of lead group figure Shirley Phelps, have left the church known for their 'God Hates ->-bleeped-<-s' signs and the picketing of soldiers' funerals.

The two sisters pioneered social media in the 'God Hates ->-bleeped-<-s' group, with Phelps-Roper posting parody videos of Lady Gaga's music videos.
