Gay-Acting, Straight-Acting, They Hate Them All

Name of group redacted because they’re total douchebags who don’t deserve any more press than they already get:

A fundamentalist group known for its virulent anti-gay stance is planning to picket the upcoming funeral of actor Heath Ledger, who played a gay cowboy in the 2005 film “Brokeback Mountain.”

Members of the [media-whoring Kansas church] said they would protest the funeral at the Frank F. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan. A date has not yet been set.

In a message posted on the group’s Web log, members promised to bring signs reading “Brokeback in Hell.” The message said Ledger was in hell because of his role in a film that taught the world “it’s OK to be gay.”

. . .

The ADL, which monitors anti-Semitism as well as the activities of hate groups, said the church gained notoriety when followers picketed the funeral of Matthew Shepard with signs reading “No Fags in Heaven.”

Since 2005, church members have picketed funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to demonstrate their opposition to America’s tolerance of homosexuality.
