Why?

The "God Hates Fags" hatemongers will picket the decease Aussie actor's funeral because he is a pervert who promoted homosexuality by appearing as a gay man in Brokeback Mountain.

We wish we could laugh at this stupidity, but it just makes us angry!

Heath may not have been perfect, but he doesn't deserve this.
==========================

I wonder how hollywood will take this one.... These individuals are low life hatemongers....

I just don't get those morons. Thankfully, 99.999% of Americans don't either.

I hope every queer in Hollywood shows up and makes it a point to show these fools how one is supposed to act at a funeral.

Ever notice how they always announce ahead of time who they will be victimizing? That way they are assured police protection for their harrassment.

I sure wish the police would forget to arrive some time.

Bikers on guard at war funerals

Quote:
The sound of outraged patriotism is echoing across the American heartland like rolling thunder.

Mounted on earth-trembling Harley-Davidsons, a volunteer army is shielding grieving families from Christian fundamentalists claiming that the deaths of US soldiers are punishment from God for homosexuality.

Marshalling more than 200 bikes for a military funeral in hardbitten Kokomo, the Indiana "state captain" of the Patriot Guard Riders, Richard Wilbur, was loathe to discuss the protests.

His rally was to honour a fallen soldier, Sgt Rickey Jones of the 101st Airborne Division, killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, said Mr Wilbur, surrounded by bikers in leathers to protect against the Midwestern cold.

But he acknowledged that its turnout was greatly increased by the expected presence of pickets from the fanatically homophobic Westboro Baptist Church.

"It's what this young soldier has died for - the right to protest," the former detective admitted, recognising an irony.

But despite the demonstrators' noxious message, there would be no violence, he promised.

"This is a noble cause," he said, surveying the bikers. "Although there are a few people here who I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley, even as a policeman with a gun, this brings out the best in people."

The bikers' aim is simple: to ensure that the dead man's family cannot hear the protests, by drowning them out, or see them, by creating a wall of flags. When the protesters start to shout, the bikers chant back. Sometimes they add a revving Harley engine or taped music.

Such countermeasures are now well rehearsed; Westboro's zealots have in recent months disrupted more than 100 Iraq and Afghan war funerals.
I wonder if they'd show up for an actor...

The "Reverend" Fred Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church is doing this as a publicity stunt to draw attention to themselves. The "outcry" from the Gay community and all who support freedom will be more than they bargained for.
I know many Christians who support gay rights and I'm one of them..

If called upon to do so, yes, we would.
