OK fine, he preaches against homosexuality, that is his right. So what happened? Did he come to the stark realization that all the preaching in the world can't change the fact that for whatever reason there are always going to be homosexuals?
Is it out of shear frustration he can't change reality that he strikes out in a most bizarre way?
$11M Verdict in Funeral Protesters Case
BALTIMORE -- Members of a fundamentalist Kansas church ordered to pay nearly $11 million in damages to a grieving father smiled as they walked out of the courtroom, vowing that the verdict would not deter them from protesting at military funerals.
Members promised to picket future funerals with placards bearing such slogans as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."
"Absolutely, don't you understand this was an act in futility?" said Shirley Phelps-Roper, whose father founded the Westboro Baptist Church.
The group believes that U.S. deaths in the Iraq war are punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality. They say they are entitled to protest at funerals under the First Amendment, which guarantees freedom of speech and religion.

It is a wonder that somebody hasn't beat some sense into these fools but that shouldn't be a surprise, somebody has to act like a grown up.
My prediction is that eventually restraining orders will be filed against this group. Feeling just
and righteous they will violate the orders and do God's work, sitting in jail.
