Anti-gay protesters picketing a soldier's funeral.

I wasn't sure whether to cry or laugh at the absolute ignorance and disrespect of the anti-gay protesters who plan to picket the funeral of a soldier who died in Iraq because they think American soldiers are being killed in Iraq as vengeance from God for protecting a country that harbors gays. A minor distraction but many of these gays are serving in the armed forces and giving their life for this country. Many of them serve society as much as any of us, more than these bigots for sure. He gave his life for the country. What more do these religious bigots want? A quote from the article: "Church founder the Rev. Fred Phelps contends American soldiers are being killed in Iraq as vengeance from God for protecting a country that harbors gays. Church members have protested at scores of military funerals, and the church informed Evansville police Saturday it would protest at Pfender's services at The Centre." Apparantly, the police are urging restraint. I tell you, these bigots need a good whopping to learn a lesson. You can read the story here.
