The Westboro Baptist Church, a group known for picketing the funerals of dead American soldiers, took to Twitter to express its condemnation of Ireland’s same sex marriage referendum.

The group tweeted “God Hates Ireland” against a background of what is presumably supposed to be the Irish flag, but they seem to have gotten confused about the order and orientation of the flag’s colors.The real thing--

1. well, flags can be displayed vertically. the question is, wouldn't green be on top?

i haven't found anything definitive from a quick google. for the u.s. flag, you keep the blue field of stars in the upper left, so you have to rotate and flip the flag.

i would guess for the irish flag you would just rotate clockwise, leaving green on top.

3. Yep.. I think that's it. n/t

2. God not only doesn't hate Ireland, he lives there

Maybe Westboro should consider this means perhaps God approves of gay marriage.
