Tuesday, June 03, 2003  Isn't it ironic?  Fred Phelps—the "God hates fags" guy who picketed Matthew Shepard's funeral—was, naturally, there to picket at the graduation of a student who received a college scholarship honoring Shepard. Unbeknowst to Phelps, a gay men's group "organized a fund-raising counterprotest, in which contributors pledged an amount for every minute the Phelps group demonstrated." The group raised $10,000, which will fund future scholarships. And I suppose Phelps will picket them, and so the cycle of life will continue... Update: Yes, there is indeed an anti-Phelps Web site: www.godhatesphelps.com. Best news I've heard all day. [ at 12:11 PM • by Abby • permalink •   ]
