The incorrigible kooks at the infamous Westboro Baptist Church never fail to remind everyone that, apparently, “God hates fags.” But He also seems to love cosmetics companies (who doens’t like a blemish-free complexion?), as the WBC is helping to drive up sales of gay-owned Z Skin Cosmetics.

The church of haters has even been thanked by the gay CEO of Z Skin, Ryan Zamo, for helping to contribute to the bottom line.

Ryan ruffled Westboro’s all-too-easily-ruffled feathers by posing for a picture with his fiancé outside of the Equality House, directly across the street from Westboro’s evil lair.

Members of Westboro saw the picture online and shared it, and it soon became a trending topic on Instagram.

Zamo says the free publicity by church members have had a major impact on sales.

“It really didn’t bother me that much. We thought it was actually funny that it was becoming so popular, but neither my fiancé nor I are the types to retaliate, it wasn’t anything to be up in arms about,” the 26-year-old said.

“We actually sent them a package with some of our Z Skin Cosmetics anti-aging, acne and hair products, after all they did drive massive sales for our site, it’s the least we could do,” he added.
