The Gay Vegans: Hating gays because of religion

By Dan Hanley

He died. He spent much of his life spreading hate towards gays and lesbians. He became famous for colorful signs with big letters that read such nice things as "God hates fags" amongst other things.

What I have always talked about in regards to this man and his band of people who traveled around the country with these signs is that what he is saying is no different than what many pastors say in the pulpit every Sunday.

No different.

The Five People Fred Phelps Will Meet in Heaven?

Supreme Court to hear case against Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church

A case involving whether the father of a Marine killed in Iraq has the right to sue the anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church (their URL is GodHatesFags.com, isn't that charming?) for emotional distress for picketing his son's funeral will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A federal court found in favor of the claims of Albert Snyder, who was awarded a $5 million judgment, but the finding was overturned by a federal appeals court.

I hope Mr. Snyder wins big.

I cannot think of anything more deplorable than picketing a funeral.
