Anti-Gay Protesters Bring Shame on Themselves

Anti-Gay Church Protests at Soldier's Funeral

OK, see, this ^^^ just makes me sick. A man has died protecting freedom and promoting democracy and the same 1st Amendment rights and freedoms that you are using and you use this Constitutional Amendment to ruin his funeral? That's not right. As a matter of fact, it's sad. Sad, sickening and reprehensible. I am not anti-gay, or anti-war, or anti-protest, but there is a better time and place.

To claim that God is punishing America for harbouring gays by killing its soldiers in Iraq is, well, ludicrous at best. At worst it is farcical, narrow-minded and extremely indicative of the political climate and the direction America is heading in collectively under the current administration.

The sad thing is, even though the soldier's family has sued, it will get tossed in court. I believe the family is suing for causation of emotional distress but the judge will probably argue that i's not applicable because the church members were using their right to Free Speech.

I would like to address the next part of this to Sean Hannity, who claimed that the "anti-war left" organized the protest:

GET YOUR FUCKING HEAD OUT OF YOUR FUCKING ASS!

It was not the "anti-war left" that organized this, but a group from a Baptist Church! A religious, right-wing group.

Right-Wing Christian radicals often wonder why people either hate them or ridicule them. It's not that hard to figure out when they make it so fucking easy. I mean, seriously...protesting gays at a funeral where a soldier died protecting YOUR 1st Amendment rights is fucking ludicrous...sorry, but this just...gah!

More later when I don't feel like shoving a dull pencil into Rev. Phelp's and Sean Hannity's eye...
