"Rev." Phelps tries to make people hate gays but my goal is to teach people the truth and help people to not judge others by who they choose to be in a relationship with. Some people think that gays are "bad" or what ever but we are no different than "straight" people. We just choose to be in a relationship with a different group of people. My goal is to try to teach people the truth and help people to not judge others by who they fall in love with. I don't want to try to make people gay because I believe that you are born gay but I want to help people see that we are no different even though some "straight" people don't agree with who we are in a relationship with. We are still human and no different than any other people. Have you heard of "Rev." Phelps? Not too many have but they have, heard of what he does so I am putting together this site to help educate people of him and the things he does. "Rev." Phelps is the pastor of the Westboro Baptist Church (ever heard of it?) He and his followers are on a mission to get people to hate all gays. That is why I am trying to tell people about him. I'm sure most people have heard of the late Matt Sheppard. Well the Rev. in control of the picketing of his funeral was the man I'm here to tell you about. He pickets just about everything you can think of because he claims he is trying to spread the word of God.

     He says (and I quote him; everything I quote from him will be from his web site (www.godhatesfags.com) which I will have a link to later on in this site.) "To warn the people who are still living that unless they repent, they will likewise perish. When people go to funerals, they have thoughts of mortality, heaven, hell, eternity, etc., on their minds. It's the perfect time to warn them of things to come. Is it mean, hateful, uncompassionate, etc.? I'm sure it is, according to your standards. However, according to my standards, it would be infinitely more mean, hateful, uncompassionate, etc., to keep my mouth shut and not warn you that you, too, will soon have to face God. "Jesus said unto him, let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God" Luke 9:60."

     This is is pathetic excuse for not even letting someone have there funeral in peace. I don't know about you but that makes me really mad. I think that we should fight him. In his web site he has a list of fliers including where he wants to picket. We need to fight him. We can counter picket or support who he is picketing (depending on the situation). We need to show him that we will fight him. And that for everyone he will get to protest gays there is someone to support gays.

     I just recently went to the wedding of Jeanne Barnett and Ellie Charlton which Phelps showed up at. He had about 10-15 protesters and there were hundreds of supporters there. It was wonderful and things like this need to continue happening. He needs to get it through him head that he is wrong and that he can't hurt us. The worst part of it all was that his followers brought their children with them. There was a girl who couldn't have been more than 11 there holding a sign that said "AIDS cures fags." She is too young to even know what sex or AIDS is, yet they bring her and expose her to their crap. That is the saddest thing to see.

The above picture was taken from Phelps' site.

We need to try and get him to stop showing up. If he doesn't come then we don't have to see his ignorance or the ignorance he is teaching to children. I don't think that all gays are perfect and sinless, for they aren't. I know that there are gay people that are like Phelps says all gays are, but not all gays are like that and that is why we need to do something. It is people like him that make straight people think that all gays are bad or stupid or sluts or whatever they think. People like Phelps are the ones making people think that it is wrong to be gay. That is why we must fight. He is an ignorant man and we need to educate people that think like him. I understand that there are a lot of people like Phelps, but if I can change the opinion of just one person, I will feel like I have done something good. I hope you all feel the same way for we can't change things all at once. It requires changing one person at a time. This is a goal I have set for myself and I hope you will join me.

I'm working on finding more sites, but lately I have been spending time remodeling. If you like or dislike please let me know. Some of you complained that the background made the page hard to read so I changed it. I also came up with a logo which I should be adding very soon.Thanks.

If you have a site to link please email me. If something doesn't work or you have any comments please email me at ihatephelps@angelfire.com.Thanks. I finally found the error that keeps coming up, and it is gone!!!! Yea, I couldn't fingure that out for awhile because it was an error in the counter code, so there is a new counter. Sorry for that annoying error.
