Im sorry for this short diary, but this news is absolutely disturbing. I wish the democratic candidates would voice their opposition to this.
As you may know, Heath Ledger was found dead yesterday. He played a gay cowboy in BrokeBack Mountain. Now Fred Phelps and his goons want to picket and protest his funeral! This is disgusting. Its disgusting when they do it to soldiers, and its disgusting when they do it to a heterosexual who played a gay character.
My question is, is there any way we can stop this nasty hate group? I believe in free speech, but this is crossing the line. Can we pass laws prohibiting picketing and protesting near any funeral sight? ANy thoughts? Thanks.
