jeriendhalYou know how you're not supposed to speak ill of the dying/dead because no matter how much of a bastard they were in life, they were in the end a member of the human race and we're all flawed in some way?
Fuck that.
Fred Phelps was an evil, angry, sonofbitch, who took his prejudices and honed them in a way to cause the maximum amount of misery to innocent people in the most painful, vulnerable moments of their lives and so he received the maximum amount of publicity for his vile acts.
If it's true that he was excommunicated from his own "church" because he was in fact so deep in the closet he was in fucking Narnia, I consider it no where near enough irony to make up for the bile he produced over the years.
The only, single good thing to come of his years of protesting, was the fact that he was such a horrible, prejudiced bastard, that others who suffered from twinges of homophobia looked him and were sufficiently repulsed that the stigma of homosexuality is rapidly being shed and homosexual couples are now allowed to live and love each other openly and receive equal rights under the law in many states now, and many more to come.
Goodbye, Fred. I hope Matt Sheppard meets you at the Pearly Gates so he can have the personal privilege of kicking your ass straight to Hell.
Fuck that.
