So, as you know, a plane crashed in my town a little over a week ago. One of the victims of that crash was human rights activist, Allison Des Forges. I have no idea what her sexual orientation was, but apparently this group, the Westboro Baptist Church from Kansas thought she was gay. Maybe she was, I have no idea. It doesn't matter. Or at least it shouldn't matter. But to these absolutely INSANE people, it mattered a lot. So much so that they hoofed it out here to Western NY to protest her funeral. Then they came out to my church to protest a memorial service which didn't exist (it was just regular Sunday services). Fortunately there were hundreds of counter-protesters dressed in white, carrying white banners which blocked the protesters signs of hate. These are the same people who protest fallen soldiers funerals, saying God hates them, hates America, hates gay people. AMAZING how they feel the need to take refuge in this incredible country of ours, where these brave men and women give their LIVES so they can spew their ignorant hatred. Such cowards. And this is the best part...their website, the website of these people who use God's name to spread their disgusting word? It's www.godhates&%^#.com. I'm not going to put what the last word is because I certainly don't want anyone going to the site based on my blog entry, but suffice it to say its a horrible slang for gay people. How holy of them.
I'm boiling over this. It's just repulsive and sickening and I hope they're out of my town by now.
