Belfast Pride........

In light of the weekend's Pride rally in Belfast i can't help but wonder how effective it is to shout and scream at the thousands of supporters with a Bible in your hand? Pretty much everyone, evidently now sees this as homophobia, regardless of whether it actually is or not. One report suggests that Belfast is "the most homophobic place in the UK or Ireland."



This paragraph made me actually laugh at loud, its so absurd i could not contain myself! It refers to Iris Robinson who has made a name for herself in recent weeks as a huge supporter of Gay rights, see more on that here.

"One member of the public objected to the MP's image being stuck on to the 'Iris' float. At City Hall a born again Christian protester ran in front of the lorry and tried to rip it off. However, he was prevented from doing so by two police officers who wrestled him to the ground."

Evidently this brother does not possess the gift of wisdom, bless him! But, on a serious note, how does this look? What are "christians" saying to the world when they do this kind of thing? I have just got to the chapter on homophobia in this book, how ironic?

Last year we watched a sickening and disturbing documentary by Louis Theroux about Westboro Baptist in Topeka, Kansas. They are such a horrible bunch of nutters that i will not even grace them with a link to their website or to the wikipedia page about them! It would be best if you didn't read more about them, you will be disgusted enough by the following ....

from Fox news: A radical Baptist church in Kansas known for picketing the funerals of soldiers who perished in Iraq said it intends to protest Heath Ledger's memorial service with signs claiming the actor died and is in Hell because he played a gay character in “Brokeback Mountain.”

Here is their official documentation on this:



This shocking story has been blogged here here and here

p.s. i am not advocating hacking or any such practice but surely there is someone out there who can remove any web presence that Westboro Baptist may have? These people are a disgrace
