Westboro Baptist Church Planning Anti-Gay Protest Outside Robin Williams' Funeral - because of late actor's role in The Birdcage
Says it will 'preach in lawful proximity' to star's funeral to 'warn the living' Williams played a gay man in the movie The Birdcage
16 August 2014
Members of the controversial Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church are planning a protest at tragic actor Robin Williams' funeral over his portrayal of a gay man in the movie The Birdcage.

If the Phelps family had any REAL balls, they would go to Ferguson and protest THAT funeral!
If they were really that upset over a US remake of a foreign film both made decades ago, they would’ve protested outside Robin Williams’ home a week before his death.
Such drama queens.
Did they 'warn the living' that the head of the WBC played a gay man in real life ?
Please God.
Hit them with an awesome hail storm...
They aren’t Christians, they’re lawyers. They live by suing people.
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
I’m sure the WBC members will get their judgement from God.... But if he ever wants to subcontract that out. ... I’m available.
I’d pay good money to watch THAT one.
What more do they want. The man lost his way then in turn gave up his mortal life. His family suffers tremendously. Let the man rest in peace. Each one of us have to answer to what we do as humans. Those people are just totally despicable. If I knew anyone as that, in my life, the pain would be overwhelming. Now, this family is their target. I don’t think they will get near that funeral. Someone posted a link last night on this site that this church (some sort of cult) is associated with some democrats. Seems if true, then it’s motivated by keeping certain issues in the news for sympathies to a cause. Let the man alone and his family. Because it s the practical and righteous action to see and to aspire with. Not this.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Imagine the chaos that would ensue.
Very well stated.
Ever notice they never protest at actual gays’ funerals?
They protest someone who played a gay man at a movie.
Please God.
Hit them with an awesome hail storm...
Please, God, hit them with some awesome punctuation; a couple of periods and a comma will do.
They are not that sharp.
April 2006 USMC funeral.
A local Police Chief and the Patriot Guard Riders shut them out.
A slight last minute change of the route left the phelps gang behind the Patriot Guard with their engines revving.
Exactly-
I always wondered why they NEVER protested against
barney frank, Mark Foley- and others- seemed to
pick on military- non homosexuals-
“Ever notice they never protest at actual gays funerals?”
They never protest outside a gay bar, gay pride parade, planned parenthood...the list goes on and on.
If they can protest him playing a gay man, I protest them playing a Christian.
“By your love, they will know” you”, “Love the sinner, hate the sin” and, “Know a tree by it’s fruit” come to mind.
