Phelps to protest at Coretta Scott King's funeral? |
|
Can anyone confirm this? If it is true I will really be upset that Phelps would protest at Mrs. King's funeral

27. I see he didn't try that at Rosa Parks' funeral.... |
|
Yup, he's a coward. Detroit and Atlanta are not good places to preach his "message". I don't think the brothers and sisters there are going to tolerate five minutes of his bullshit.

but Mrs. King would be saddened with the violence. I would hope they are ignored, and her memory honored with a beautiful peaceful ceremony. She will be Laying in State at the Capital on Saturday. I'll be in the line to say my goodbyes.

12. I'd sort of like that, too |
|
but the fact is that it would be an affront to all that Mrs. King stood for. Even with Phelps, the appropriate response would be non-violence.
I remember when I was with two of my youth groups kids at the United Church General Synod in Kansas City in 2001. One of the kids wasn't clear where she stood on issues concerning gays in the church, etc. Phelps and his crazies were there, right outside the convention center, spouting their hate. It was a real turning point for this young woman. She was completely shocked at the hateful signs and slogans. She got into an argument with one of the nutjobs, and I drageed her away, telling her they can't be beaten with logic, and she'd just end up frustrated.
Now, she is one of the strongest advocates for glbt rights that I know. She has educated herself about the issue and is active in the Gay/Straight Alliance on the campus of her college (she's in grad school, now). So, by being an asshole, Phelps created a great advocate for glbt rights.
Take that, Rev. Jerk-off!!

20. That's perhaps the best way to fight Phelps and his kind |

show him that his hatred evokes sympathy and kindness and a true Christian attitude towards all people.

46. It has been speculated, |
|
and by more than one person on more than one thread, that Phelps is doing more to advance GLBT rights than is he to hinder them... and that that may be his actual plan.
Major :tinfoilhat:, I know... but it's been said.

10. What is his problem? He is truly the most clueless protester |
|
I've ever encountered. I don't think anyone gets his point when he appears at exactly the "wrong" funerals. So WHY DOES HE KEEP TRYING TO SIMPLY JUST BE A JERK?
He can't possibly win sympathy on either side. Give it up, okay?

I'm not sure that this Phelps protest at Coretta Scott King's service has been confirmed but I would love to see people screw with their heads, at every opportunity. And what better way than to suggest that their leader harbors secret homosexual desires (which wouldn't surprise me, at all, if it were actually true)?

one too many protests -- what i guess REALLY happens is that gay folk{and women and others} stand up and go to these churches for a confrontation.
why should {conservative}christians be left in peace while raining so much hate down on others?

Here in Ann Arbor (MI). His "family" was here a few months ago to protest at the University of Michigan. Phelps may pull that shit off in the "burbs", but he'll get his ass kicked trying that bullshit in MLK's hometown of Atlanta. The widow of MLK is highly revered there....
Rev Phelps, you can't possibly be that stupid!

that stupid. Now, something good can actually come of this despicable act that they plan, in that it might just bring some much needed focus to our homegrown hate groups.
***UGH*** I actually looked at more of it. How can these CREEPS protest at funerals like that? What? These families don't deserve to be able to bury their dead? Yah, this site gave me a headache too

When Phelps came to San Francisco to protest at Randy Shilts funeral, he was met by hundreds of counter protestors. If anybody here has any connection to civil rights groups in Atlanta, perhaps it would be a good idea to give them a call.

31. Even if he did, I bet Big Guys would surround him in protection. |
|
When an African American monument was dedicated here in Savannah, GA - there was a particularly vile protester with a repulsive sign.
About 3 Bigs Guys stood close to him so that no one would give him the thrashing he deserved.
These Big Guys were with the New Black Panthers, if that means anything one way or the other.
