Now I have heard of everything. Any man who serves and dies for his country gay or not, does not deserve this kind of treatment.

These sad, sick, hate-filled people are a sorry advertisement for their god. I certainly don't want to be involved in any religion that would take part in a shameful demonstration like this.

This hero's family not only has to go through losing him, but they have to put up with these hateful people showing up at his funeral.

A heart-filled "thank you" to all of those volunteers who surrounded these losers to shield the family from those sorry signs.

They are not picketing this fallen soldier because he was gay.....No, it's because this freakish religious group thinks the war in Iraq is a result of people being gay, so it's to draw attention to their pathetic beliefs. The fallen soldier is just a pawn in their war against gays.
