Here's how the Westboro Baptists are like the rest of the Christian schisms:
They themselves pick and choose which Bible strictures and edicts to enforce and which to ignore. That they cherry pick different scriptures than some other denominations doesn't confer on those other denominations the right to criticize Westboro for cherry picking scriptures, only for cherry picking the wrong scriptures in their opinion.
And of course, Westboro is just like all those other Christian denominations since they are ignoring so very, very many scriptures, despite a scriptural injunction against that very practice.
And if you think about it, "cherry picking the wrong scriptures" doesn't invalidate those scriptures, it instead indicts those also cherry picking, it absolutely doesn't invalidate those unchosen scriptures! So declining to rebuke the denominations not selecting the same scriptures as the Westboro folks doesn't absolve them of homophobia, it instead condemns them for heresy/apostasy.
So, all the Christin denominations are 'like' Westboro in that regard, or they "'aren't doing it right" and a similar indictment of Westboro is of course valid since they "aren't doing it right" either.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
