Nathan Phelps
Nathan Nate Phelps is an AmericanCanadian author, LGBT rights activist, and public speaker on the topics of religion and child abuse. He is the sixthborn of thechildren of Fred Phelps, from whom he along with three of his siblings had been estranged since his 18th birthday in 1976 until his fathers death in 2014. Phelps permanently left Westboro Baptist Church in 1980 and has since publicly censured the group.
Phelps was born in Topeka, Kansas on November 22, 1958. From birth until age 18, Phelps lived with his parents Fred and Margie in his hometown. Although he attended a local public school, beyond that his life revolved around his fathers Westboro Baptist Church , which adjoined their family home inside a walled compound. Attendance at scheduled sermons was strictly enforced, and afterschool time was largely committed to raising money for the Church through selling candy. Later this was eclipsed by participation in his fathers intensive exercise program, which would routinely involve Phelps and his siblings runningormiles after school, accompanied by participation in a fad diet.
