RIP Fred Phelps
I remember Matt's funeral like it was yesterday and vividly recall the anger and utter disgust I felt for the protests outside.
As anti-gay hate personified, Fred Phelps unintentionally helped open people's eyes, including my own, to the struggles of the LGBT community. Thank you for inspiring countless people to wake up, open their hearts to love, and fight for their LGBT brothers & sisters. May that be your legacy.
Here are a few thoughtful articles on Phelps' passing: A Gay Dad’s Requiem on the Death of Fred Phelps and this Huffington post article from our respected colleague and friend Cathy Renna.
