I'm sure ya'll have heard of "Reverend" Fred Phelps, the leader of the so called Westboro Baptist "Church." I was perusing Youtube when I can across several videos where his followers were being interviewed on the news. I also came across a very bizarre video that seems to be from the churches news broadcast. It just amazes me how close-minded and stupid people can be. Here they were, ranting about how everybody is either a "fag" or "fag enabler" unless they believed what they believe. Anyway, just thought I'd share, I bet this is old news but whatever.
If anyone would like to dicuss this particularly cruel brand of religion, feel free.

Most of the church's members are his relatives and he has told them that they can't marry outside the church. A few generations of that make for some interesting people. Hopefuly the whole thing falls apart when Fred dies.

Technically, anyone who isn't anti-homosexuality on the level of meme-propagation and practice IS a 'fag enabler', or to the polar opposite, a 'fag'.
Sure, it's hate mongering, but semantically, the label 'fag enabler' is accurate. Whether or not it's a bad thing is where the gray area comes into play. Is there a place in the world for homosexuality? If not, for hatred of them? What about compromises? Which way is better, the freedom of homosexuality or repression?
Most of these answers aren't known yet, because no society has ever been 100% open about sexuality. We just don't know what the effects would really be. I don't personally see anything wrong with finding out what a society of open sexuality would be like...but apparently a lot of folks do.

Holy shit man, I actually had to watch this a second time to make sure it wasn't just some sick joke. I have to say I'm disgustedly speech less. But, I am proud to see all the people that stoped and gave that family the finger. Im planning to watch the rest of the interview so I'll post more later.

I met my girlfriend of five years planning a protest against Phelps' church visiting one of the local high schools. They're wackos.
