Shawna,


I've been wondering the same thing since the first time I laid eyes on the man at Matt's funeral ............ yes, I said it, at his funeral


They were picketing his funeral, holding signs like "matt in hell", and "aids cures fags" ... it made me sick...


He's tried to come here in my town protesting but he's always been kicked out by the law .... i just don't understand how someone could hold such magnitude of hate in their hearts, it's really sad ...


Matt was so beautiful ... I didn't understand it when it happened, and I never will ...

I really don't think this petition is about gays or people who are homophobic. This is about a young man who was a gentleman and had feelings too. The Minister and his little followers are horrible people who think that because you aren't attracted to the opposite sex then you're nothing. That's wrong and I hope the public proves that point to the Minister (who shouldn't even have that title).

I signed it proudly!! Hopefully they accept Canadian signatures. ~Dana

Signed. Perhaps Matt's parents can contact a lawyer and sue this idiot "holy man" for pain and suffering or malicious intent.

Kinda been in lurker mode lately,but wanted to say..I saw this a while back,signed it,and hope he is not allowed to erect this horrific structure(I can't even type in monument as to me,that represents more of a positive thing).It saddens me to see such hatred from a man who is suposed to show others to love thy neighbors =(

Blessings,

Bren

I came across this petition a few weeks ago and passed it on to all my friends as well.

Recently I read that the group who had donated the 10 Commandments monument had agreed to move it from the city park, so that there will be a ban in effect on all monuments on public property.

Fred Phelps states that he will simply look for another place in the city to put it. I believe the good and decent people of Casper will never allow it in their city.

On a more disturbing note, if you go to Phelp's website (www.godhatesfags.com) there is an equally disturbing "clock" marking off the days they believe Matt has been in Hell. It makes me almost physically sick to think of such hatred. Does anyone know of a law that could make them remove this from their site?

no andi it isn't possible .... we've been trying to get his site shut down for years (and when i say "we" i mean, the GLAAD community in general ..........Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) .... he's not breaking any laws
