January 23rd, 2008 by Castina

A gay hate group is planning to picket the funeral of late actor Heath Ledger. Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas is still hot under the collar about Heath’s almost-Oscar winning role as a gay cowboy in the 2005 film, Brokeback Mountain. The church has announced it’s plans for a Ledger funeral protest in a disgusting bulletin posted on it’s official site. Developing….but please leave us your thoughts on this!

I’m a conservative Christian, and think they are a bunch of assholes. People like this give Christianity a horrible name. They shouldn’t be allowed to call themselves Christian!

Where did this group of people crawl out of? The level of hatred, is unbelievable!! I agree with”k” above…They are condemming him for a “acting” part in a movie, insane? The human race will never move forward until people filled with hate, predjudice are gone from the planet. RIP Heath

So apparently God hates people? Funny cuz I thought God loved people like this so much that he became a man, died on a cross, etc.

Isn’t that what the Baptists are supposed to believe?

It wouldn’t make sense to say “For God so hated some people that he incarnated, got persecuted, just so that they would know of his hate.”

Sadly they missed the day where tolerance was taught. They must have also missed the part about not judging lest they be judged. And the part about it being Gods right to judge not mans.

Well what do you expect.

Evelyn, they got the wrong god, indeed. But there’s a REAL one, so don’t be too quick to count Him out!

Too bad Heath Ledger wasn’t gay….
Do they protest the funerals of other actors who portray murderers or child molestors? Why should Heath Ledger be any different? Last time I checked no matter what you believe, no where in the bible are actors banished to hell.

And the actions of ignorant people have nothing to do with God except for the fact that he gave us free will. I would never blame God or religion because stupid people do stupid things.

you people make me sick hes a ACTOR its what they do is act, so give him and his family a break they are having a hard time as is with his untimely death. and god doesnt hate him or anyone for that matter, but sadly he should hate you people for even thinking of this shallow idea im shocked you people dont have anything better to do with your life. You dont even know Heath, his family, Michelle or his daughter so let them have their time and do something more imporant with your life such as go to a real church and get these crazy thoughts out of your head, because if you hate one actor that acts as a” gay” person for their role in a movie or TV show, than you must hate all actors who play a “gay” role. and honestly i dont think he is being noticed for his oscar winning role BECAUSE HE PLAYED A GAY GUY. I’m guess he is being noticed because he was a GREAT actor and people saw that but sadly you dont. Be more open minding to things in the world. and leave him and his family alone they never did anything to you.

and also honesly go to a different church and really see who God really is.. then tell me who’s funeral should be protested.. because as of right now i think that all of America think it should be your funerals!!!

This church is wack! They beleive that god blew down the twin towers because he hates gays so much. What the! They also go to soldiers funerials and protest at them. They consist of about one family size. So theres only like less then 100 people in the church. These guys are not True Christians. I know its god decition to decide who is true and isn’t but i Beleive that he doesn’t want us to be such retards and show people how good christians are. Set out to be a role modle not a mocker.
Iam glad i live in Australia and that i live so far away from these wackos!
