One could make the same argument about the Catholic/baptist churchs

They are pretty hostile towards other religions and homosexuals.

That "definition" is fraught with loopholes. To me it should be restricted to acts of violence only.

A government can't really legislate hatred or hostility. Those are thoughts and intentions. It can, and should, only legislate actions.

The WBC is, in my opinion, scum. But until they break the law through action, they have a right to exist. No where does it say that a 501c organization needs to be nice.
