Five years after University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was killed, touching off a national dialogue on gay rights, the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas, an anti-gay hate group wants to put up a monument to Shepards murder in his hometown. The city doesnt want it, but it is caught in a legal tangle that involves, of all things, the Ten Commandments.
AT SHEPARDS FUNERAL in his hometown of Casper, Wyo., Westboro Baptist Church members demonstrated in a park across the street, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps.
Sounds a little different doesn't it? Instead of sounding like a large hate group, it sounds like a kooky little church in Kansas. The media knows how they made it sound and they did it purposefully.
Thank You!!! THAT is EXACTLY the point I have been trying to get across.
