You know they say homophobes in many cases tend to harbor homosexual feelings themselves, in which case Fred Phelps is probably the gayest person alive. This hated and despised pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church is more like the leader of an anti-gay cult, believing that homosexuality and social acceptance of it have doomed most of the world to eternal damnation. With 71 members (60 of which are related to Phelps), you could find these hate-filled homophobes protesting at funerals of soldiers, for the inexplicable reason that their deaths were a result of America’s “love for fags”. Their websites, such as “God Hates Fags”, have sparked a lot of controversy, as they suggest that God will punish homosexuals as well as anyone else whom his church considers “fag-enablers”. While we should apologize for producing Phelps and his bigotry, it should be noted that Phelps is oddly the one area where both liberals and conservatives can agree upon. If that doesn’t say how much he’s hated, I don’t know what will.
