do these fools picket every actor who has played a GLBT role?
God. I hate these people.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Does God hate a lot? I mean, in his own words did he say he hated people?
Old Testament God may have, here and there, in Leviticus or one of the other extra-rulesy sections. New Testament God, not so much, except maybe the part where Jesus gets pissed off at people turning a temple courtyard into an open-air mall, and the parable where he gets pissed off at people who don't care for the poor and sick and clothe the homeless and visit people in prison and then end up in hell and whine about how unfair it is, how they would've been nicer if they'd known they were supposed to be nice to, you know, those kinds of people too.
Pulling "God hates fags" and "God wants us to picket soldiers' and GLBT or GLBT-friendly actors' funerals and mock the mourners" out of that requires a metric fuckload of handwavium, but Fred Phelps is just gifted that way.

If the funeral is in Australia, they might not be able to picket since there are more restrictions on free speech. I'm not sure the Aussies would consider it political speech.

They picket any high-profile funeral. They picketed one here of 5 family members (mother and 4 children including an 8-week old baby) killed in a car accident.
it's just so revolting

The real question is though, while they're picketing Ledger's funeral, will they also picket Jake Gyllenhaal's...
I'm hoping they'll have all passed into irrelevant history and been forgotten by the time Jake kicks it.

Have they tried to picket such a high-profile person's funeral yet? No disrespect meant to military members AT ALL, but Heath Fucking Ledger is pretty high profile. I just can't imagine that, even if there is going to be a service in the US, those fuckstains would be allowed anywhere near it.

Won't his funeral be in Australia? Are they going to fly down there for it?
This is what I was wondering. Can they all be on the same plane? And can it crash safely over the ocean so they are floating around getting eaten by sharks? Or possibly end up in field of those nasty jellyfish billytea has mentioned are in Australia? Or both?

I think he only hates Fred Phelps.
No, dang it, I do truly believe that God even loves that waste of DNA, and that burns me up. Which is why I'm not God. (I don't think. Wait. t checks Nope. Not God.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Which is why I'm not God. (I don't think. Wait. <checks> Nope. Not God.)
What exactly did you check?
