The Westboro Baptist Church.
It's a rather infamous church in Kansas (with a small membership - about 15 or so people, all related by marriage or direct heritage) whose members go about to various places across the country to protest "gayness" and other such things. They're most infamous for picketing at a homosexual soldier's funeral, among other things, carrying signs that say things like "GOD HATES FAGS" and telling people they're going to hell.
They've also apparently been barred by Canada and the UK from entry into their borders, and the more infamous Ku Klux Klan apparently also have a strong distaste for their behavior.
See also, for example, godhatesfags.com and godhatesamerica.com.
They're tolerated because the First Amendment explicitly permits their behavior, and they don't generally break laws. But they're almost universally reviled for their behavior and statements, and are considered a hate group by most rational people.
