Country singer Brad Paisley is an equal opportunity selfie-taker.
Before a Kansas concert Sunday, the country singer decided to take a picture with members of the Westboro Baptist Church, who happened to be protesting outside. Paisley, 41, posted the image to his Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages along with the caption: “Westboro Baptist Selfie!! Or west-Burro(ass) selfie. Hopefully they can hear the show out here. We’ll play loud.”

The photo has almost 238,000 Facebook likes and counting two days later. Many fans have posted messages of support for Paisley and ridicule of the extremist group.
The church wasn’t as sure that Paisley was mocking them:
The Westboro Baptist Church has protested other country stars, including Blake Shelton and Taylor Swift.
