Westboro is a cult. Mainly made up of two families with about 80% of the membership being the children and grandchildren of Phelps. They are forbidden to marry outside of their "church".

More gays are murdered every year by other gays than by "homophobic fairy bashers."

NOT just a cult.

But a Democratic Party cult!

Thanks for the link to the ABC story. Very informative.

I'd say, sure, let the kids put on their play - but make sure a copy of that ABC article was attached to every program distributed that night.

Tom O'Connor, known as "Doc," who ran a limousine service and sometimes drove Shepard, said just days before Shepard's death, Matt told him he was HIV-positive and was considering suicide.

This sounds like a "death by cop" story. It was Sheppard's way of committing suicide.

Isn't it special these high school students are praising him for it? (s)

Liz Leavens, 14, said, "The theme is accepting diversity and getting to know different lifestyles out there."

NIV Ephesians 5:11-12
11. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

Will the kids have to 'accept' whatever crap is pushed on them by the schools?

Choose your battles. Spreading all kinds of dubious accusations about a person who was brutally murdered does nothing for the conservative or christian cause.

This has got to be the first time in FREEREPUBLIC history that two cold blooded murderers are being given the time of day.

Of course they are trying to make Shephard look bad! They are murderers! Show me evidence that doesn't come from them.

I think you meant to respond to another poster. I have made no dubious accusations against anyone.

The NAMBLA murder horrified everyone. There was no controversey because everyone hates NAMBLA and thought it was evil! There are dozens upon dozens of books written about child molestation and murders. NBC has the popular TO CATCH A PREDATOR.

Why does this play offend you so much? WHy is it wrong to honor a dead kid even if he may have had other problems?

What??? That makes no sense at all - he was attacked by a couple of thugs - what did that have to do with the cops? Just because he was depressed doesn't mean that he committed suicide.

Gee! Why was Shepherd killed? He was cruising for a guy in a straight bar. Excuse me, but Laramie is a cowboy town, knowing cowboys as I do, and I do know a few - my brother in law for one. Shepherd took his life and put it into his own hands when he did so, because some free thinking straight guy would resolve the issue immediately as it was, which IS what happened.

Liberals, as Ronald Regan once said, are people who know everything about nothing, and are therefore armed with stupidity. Shepherd paid the price for his idiocy. May he NOT rest in peace.

Thank those above for ending that gene pool.

Oh, it's a lot more than that. Phelps was a Gore delegate. He got an invite to the Clinton inaugural.

Ain't I. Obviously you have never been to Laramie. Must be one of them cowboys grom, New York, City! just like the ad says, and no - I feel just fine, warm and cozy. Hehe, Sheperd was a bonehead to push the edge of the envelope like that.
