I might have misunderstood the article, but from what I gathered the soldier being buried wasn't even gay. The reason these idiots protested this funeral, and protest as many other soldier funerals as they can, is because they view all of the American deaths in Iraq as a punishment from god for this country "enabling fags," as they so eloquently put it.

You know, I'd imagine there's quite a bit of inner conflict for other Christian conservatives regarding the actions of Phelps and his cronies. As "patriotic" and "supportive of the troops" as they like to make themselves out to be, you would think they'd all be really enraged by some senile bastard going around completely shitting on the memories of soldiers who died for this country. However, you can rest assured that for a lot of Christian conservatives homophobia will win out over common decency, and they'll come out and say something like "You might disagree with Phelps but we have to protect freedom of speech and religion no matter what, and besides he does have a point about those fucking fags, err I mean, homosexuals."
