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. [Read more]

This does not help my mood.
People really have the capacity to suck beyond words.

Honestly, that man is utterly disgusting to even consider doing such a thing.
Oh yes, and I am a lurker, so hello.

What the fucking hell? I can't believe this is happening. It's sickening to celebrate murder like this--I cannot, cannot believe the law is allowing this. Surely there's something, somewhere, about not inciting violence?
