Picking on the Dead
After several decades of distinguishing himself as a Bible-wielding fag basher of unprecedented malevolence, this month Westboro Baptist Church’s Fred Phelps sank to a new low, somehow finding a way to make January 2’s West Virginia mining disaster even more upsetting for survivors.
Phelps’ money quote (excerpted from a Westboro Baptist Church press release and published by The Advocate):
“They died in shame and disgrace, citizens of a cursed nation of…unholy perverts who have departed from the living God to worship on ‘Brokeback Mountain.’”
Speaking of Brokeback: Hurrah for the slew of Oscar nominations bestowed upon the imperfect but gorgeous film. Here’s hoping March 5’s Oscar ceremony is the greatest night for gay visibility since last Friday.
Didja hear he's now got his minions protesting the funerals of soldiers who died in Iraq? Apparently the deepening faggotry of our nation is responsible for their deaths. Not, you know, being deployed in the middle of a war zone.
