Is Fred Phelps Gay?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017106382

It isn't the worst of the worst, but I'm sick of hearing that anyone who hates gays must be gay. And being told to lighten it up - that its "just" hypocrisy that is being attacked.

If anyone wants to try some education - I've alerted on 3 posts, and am batting 0 for 3. Tried three variations on the themes - don't use homosexuality as an insult; It is insulting to allege that someone's disgusting hateful behavior is because they are gay (particularly this person's hateful disgusting behavior). The best I got was 2-4.

The admins have made it clear they are going to do nothing about how challenging it is to educate folks about insults to our community - http://www.democraticunderground.com/1259315#post4 - ONLY mAnn Coulter type insults that have been left standing (or never alerted, likely at least some because jurors are tired of things being left standing). I didn't even look for anything else.)

And I've worn out my educating spiel for the day.
