Heath Ledger’s funeral to be picketed by homophobic Church

A controversial U.S church plans on picketing Heath Ledger's funeral because he played a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.

The homophobic Baptist Church in Kansas has a history of picketing the funerals of U.S soldiers, carrying signs that read 'Thank God for Dead Soldiers' and 'God Hates Fags.'

Now the church, lead by Fred Phelps, is turning its attention to the deceased Hollywood star.

"Yes, WBC will picket this pervert's funeral, in religious protest and warning: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked." Gal. 6:7.

"Heath Ledger thought it was great fun defying God Almighty and His plain word; to wit.

"God hates Fags! & Fag-Enablers!

"Ergo, God hates the sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit known as 'Brokeback Mountain' - and He hates all persons having anything whatsoever to do with it."

Their flyer adds: "Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there - beside which, nothing else about Heath Ledger is relevant or consequential."
