Cowardly of them.Apparently he's not having a funeral. Apparently his church doesn't "worship the dead."
I used to feel relieved when someone like him died because there was one less hater in the world. Sadly, I've learned there's always a new idiot standing ready to fill their spot.
This was George Takei's quote on FB: "Today, Mr. Phelps may have learned that God, in fact, hates no one. Vicious and hate-filled as he was, may his soul find the kind of peace through death that was so plainly elusive during his life."
And something a friend who belongs to the LGBT community posted a few days ago when it became clear Phelps's death was iminent: "... I think if any public response is warranted, it would be hundreds, thousands of LGBT+ people descending upon Topeka carrying signs saying 'Thank you, Fred.' He is a despicable person who lived a hateful life, but it can honestly be said that, ultimately, he helped us much more than he harmed us." I have to applaud both these sentiments.
I agree. I even have trouble writing this, because I don't want such a wreck of the psyche to occupy more than a few seconds of my time. Like a jerk who cuts you off in traffic, best forgotten and don't let the malicious ones in the world run your mood for you.Personally I hope no one shows up to the funeral except for his family. No protests, no media, no nothing. Let this man go down as merely a footnote to when one thinks of contempt. Show the family the respect and privacy he never gave other grieving families.
