The Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, announced on Wednesday that they would picket Lady Gaga's Jan. 7 St. Louis show on account of her "seducing a generation," reports PopEater.

"Even as she gives lip service to 'liberating' her young fans, Lady Gaga brings them into slavery to their own corruption, teaching them to glory in their shame. She hates you," said the Rev. Fred Phelps in a written statement.

The press release for the protest gave no mention of what the church's official issue is with the singer but one can only assume it has to do with her tolerance and exploration of bisexual and homosexual activity.

Speaking to PopEater, St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay said he respects Westboro's right to protest but continued in saying "this instance seems more like pop music criticism than political protest."

"I hope her fans have fun and spend lots of money here. Other than that, there's 'Nothing Else I Can Say (eh eh),'" said the mayor in a Twitter update, adding that he didn't think the protest would have any major impact.
