My bosses' brother in law just died last week.
As a preface, he was mid to late 30s and was gay. He was the first male/male couple to be married in Sonoma County (Wine Country area, California) only a few weeks ago.
He died mid week, his partner came home in the evening to find him on the floor, dead.
My boss, his family, and his friends were planning to have a celebration for him and his life over the weekend. My boss let us all know that apparently, a group, known as the Westboro Baptist Church from Kansas, run by some old piece of shit has his minions file for a permit to assemble outside of the building they were having the party at (The building is owned/operated by the city). They are known for there gay hating attitudes and rallies blaming gay people for many of America's problems. They have gone so far to say shit to gay soldiers in the military including those just coming back from Iraq.
Here is a link to there picketing schedule, its the Healdsburg, CA location where the celebration is to take place... http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html
This entire situation pisses me off, I dont understand how a group of people can completely and utterly hate a group of people based solely on there sexual orientation to the point where you blame them for problems with the entire nation.
The shit these fucking assholes spout off about gay people deserving to get AIDs is dispicable and really makes me think that we havent progressed much as a civilization and that there really isnt much hope for us all...
Fuck these people, there is a special place in hell for these degenerates...
