Anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church leader Fred Phelps dies
The former leader of a US church that was widely known for its inflammatory anti-gay protests has died, his family has said.
The Reverend Fred Phelps Sr, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas, died on Wednesday evening at 84.
The church, made up mostly of his family, rose to international notoriety with its practice of picketing funerals of fallen US troops.
It claimed their deaths were punishment for America's tolerance of gays.

“When Americans were faced with the choice of accepting their LGBT neighbors or endorsing Phelps’s unfiltered hate, they chose the former. He showed anti-gay bigotry for what it really is: profoundly un-American. Phelps lived to see a nation that more and more decisively rejected his vile message. That’s his legacy.”

What's funny is that the church booted him out last year for being too
too nice.

I wonder if they will be waving "God hates Freds" placards at his funeral?

I think his funeral should be picketed by dykes on bikes...

I just read that there won't be any funeral to picket.

Yeah, the cowards.
Although there's something to be said for not sinking to their level...
