Fred Phelps going to Philly Equality Forum; challenges Barney Frank to debate

Monday, April 18, 2005



He never ceases to amaze me. All you folks going to Philly for the big gay fest will get a treat. Fred Phelps will gas up his hate-mobile and trek over to Equality Forum, which will commemorate 40 years of the gay rights movement. Talk about being outnumbered; it's an excellent promotional activity for the Westboro Baptist Church. From his latest unhinged flier:

"God Hates Fags & Fag Enablers! Ergo, God hates America, now a vile homofascist regime irreversible cursed of God and doomed. And, this is a challenge to their fag champion [Massachusetts Dem Congressman -- and out gay man] Barney Frank to debate these issues with WBC Pastor Fred Phelps in Philadelphia May 1."

Don't forget folks, Phelps plans to make an appearance in my town, Durham, NC on May 6-7. He will be protesting "the fag-infested Durham School of the Arts and The Laramie Project fag propaganda play."
