on an ED/abuse recovery board i post on/moderate for, there's a hot topic section. i just read this article and damn near lost my breakfast, and in fact can barely keep it down. i'm trying to find other articles on this ... is this even ALLOWED?! can't the parents SUE this guy to not do it? well here, please read and then what i'm saying will make sense:
"On October 3, 2003 Anti-Gay Preacher Fred Phelps' announced intentions to erect a "monument" to Matthew Shepard, a college student brutally murdered five years ago. The following is an article published October 3, 2003 by 365Gay.com's News Center.
(Casper, Wyoming) Anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps has announced intentions to erect a monument to Matthew Shepard the gay college student brutally murdered five years ago near Laramie.
But, the monument will be no memorial. Phelps says the monument would be 5 to 6 feet tall and made of marble or granite. It would bear a bronze plaque bearing the image of Shepard and have an inscription reading "MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God's Warning: 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.' Leviticus 18:22."
The monument would be erected in downtown Casper, Shepard's home town. Phelps has sent details of the monument to the city of Casper city council and there may be nothing the city can do to prevent it. Phelps said he intends to put up the monument in City Park, already the location of a controversial statue of the Ten Commandments. "
I'm sorry if anyone else has already posted about this, i didn't see a thread though.
There's a petition (where i got the article quote from) here: http://www.petitiononline.com/mrphelps/petition.html
If you guys feel strongly about this, sign it. Please.
my void does not want.
