The article says they were planning to show up. At other high-profile funerals (e.g., Matthew Sheppard), people have gone and protested. I find this reprehensible.

And of course more gay men are attacked by their lovers than are attacked by homophobes -- statistically, all acts of violence are more likely to happen at the hands of someone the victim knows. I don't know what that has to do with my point -- which is, whatever one thinks of people's personal life choices, it's distinctly anti-Christian to protest at funerals. Don't, however, feel it necessary to actually address the point of my post.

To borrow a page from the DU freaks, maybe Phelps is a disruptor bought and paid for by the gays. He has done nothing but aid (no pun intended) their cause. He may well be gay himself posing as a straight. It is all too convenient ...
