Westboro Baptist Church is headed for Sacramento.
Their website says they are planning protests at Sac State Tuesday and Rocklin Academy Gateway on Wednesday.
Church members describe themselves as preaching against all forms of sin, and they are considered a hate group by many organizations.
The church's website states plainly that they do not accept donations or financial support from anyone outside of the small church. The Southern Poverty Law Center says the church makes its money by winning or settling civil lawsuits involving the church.
They say the church will file a lawsuit against businesses, cities or counter-protestors and if they win or settle, that money goes towards supporting the church.
"The message that this group brings with them is toxic and can be very damaging for folks who are being targeted but really for all folks," said Beth Lesen with Sac State.
That message could really upset a lot of their students, according to Lesen. That's why there's a group of students calling to counter protest Westboro Baptist Church's appearance on campus.
"I understand that inclination and I have that inclination in my heart as well. It's important to understand the goals of this particular organization and to be strategic,” Lesen said.
However, Lesen says she wants those counter protestors to stay level headed.
“A lot of people know who they are and what they're about and we don't need to be terribly preoccupied by their toxicity and their hate," Lesen said.
Westboro says Sac State has chosen to support and enable sin by including LGBTQ students in their suicide prevention program.
Sac State includes rainbows on their signs that say, ‘Sac State Cares.’ They also allow rainbow tassels at graduations.
Lesen says, when it comes to supporting their LGBTQ students, they're doing it right.
"We're known region wide, state wide as a very inclusive and very diverse campus, and they don't like that,” Lesen said. “Rather than screaming down hatred. Make sure that we continue to be bright and successful and full of energy because that's what really scares them the most."
