I am extremely glad to hear that the evil Westboro Baptist Church, who spew hate at funerals of both gay people and soldiers killed in Iraq (claiming that God is punishing America for its "tolerance" of gays - not that it is entirely tolerant towards us)
have been fined $10,900,000 for their actions at the funeral of Matthew Snyder, a soldier who was killed in Iraq. As they have been behaving like this for
over a decade, it is a shame that it has taken their appearance at soldiers' funerals for something to be done about it. Fortunately the good people of
Angel Action have been there from the start, shielding the mourners from the hate-mongers.
If the mere mention of the evil of Westboro has left a bad taste in your mouth, then I recommend a visit to the
SoulForce website, which is all about LGBT and straight people of faith working together to end prejudice and discrimination against LGBT people.
