US church vows to picket Ledger memorial
An American church plans to picket memorials held for Australian actor Heath Ledger because he played a gay cowboy in the film Brokeback Mountain.

The Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, says it will protest against any memorial held for Ledger in the United States because the 28-year-old actor supported homosexuals.

"I'm going to picket him in two places," parishioner Shirley Phelps told Sydney radio station 2Day FM.

"I'm going to stand outside of any public memorial service that he has here.

"And then the other place I'm going to picket him is when they prop him up to worship his dead, rotting carcass further at the Oscars. I'll be right outside by the red carpet."

It is understood Ledger's body will be returned to Perth, where his former school has offered to hold a memorial service.

The church has ruled out travelling to Australia for the funeral

    Just so you know, this church group is put on the news all the time for stuff like this. They're not worth anyone's attention imo.

    right, this is the same bunch that protest soldiers' funerals. sick group. :mad:

    not sure what they think protesting any funeral service would accomplish. they are largely hated by pretty much the world. not winning over any supporters this way.

    disturbing is right.

    At least I am fairly sure the funeral will be in Australia, but any other service they may have over in the States will be a worry.

    I cant believe how low people will go, and the lack of respect that they show to not only poor Heath or soldiers but to the poor grieving families.

    What's wrong with these people, it's the same group who was on the news in Sweden a year ago for supporting a Swedish priest who was prosecuted for badmouthing homosexuals in public services (which is illegal here)....

    There was a hour long show on telly about them, insane people !!!!

    Aside from being outrageous assholes, who cares what the fuck they say? Any idiot can stand outside a funeral and shout obscenities (they're probably crazy). Freedom of speech.

    Aren't these folks different from the a church out of the east coast somwhere?

    Exactly...these stories are put out there to just distract people and keep them from getting angry about actual important things. And it works well, obviously.

    That's totally disgusting. There are people out there calling themselves Christians who are going to rot and be eaten by worms.

    Worried they wind up tied to a burning tree in the outback? That woman is disgusting. I only hope that there is some kind of cruel demise in her future, which may be wrong for me to wish for, but I don't care

    Wow. I mean there isn't anything else one can really say. There are so many people out there masquerading as decent human beings and then well there are these folks. These so called Christians.. banging their bibles. Who are they to judge? It is sad. As sad as his is, his death is getting more attention in this city right now then the attacks on women. Sure some poor soul was murdered last week and her face so badly destroyed, her own family can't ID her. But lets talk about Heath.

    This folks are more of a cult than a church.....most of the membership are related by blood or marriage....they get no mainstream support because they wouldn't recognize God if he introduced himself. :rolleyes:
