Phelps Family unable to find Ledger funeral, writes “Open Letter” to Ledger’s family.
The hateful yet somehow amusing Phelps family had planned to protest the funeral of Heath Ledger for his role as a gay man in Brokeback Mountain. The only problem? They were unable to discover where the funeral was being held. Their lust for attention is so strong that they released this Open Letter to Heath Ledger’s family. You simply must read it, it’s a doozy.

Monday,January28,2008Open Letter to the Family of
Heath Ledger
Dear friends:For misguided reasons you are hiding the body of Heath
Ledger, and refusing to divulge the time, date, and place of his
burial in Perth, Australia, so that we at Westboro Baptist
Church cannot attend - in respectful proximity - and conduct a
religious service.
“Religious service”. So that’s what you’re calling it now.
Please reconsider. For the following reasons:
1) Heath would want us to appear - in religious protest and
warning to the living - that they should repent, “lest they also
come into this place of torment.” Lk. 16:28. Like the rich man
in Hell in Luke 16, Heath is pleading even now for somebody on
earth to preach the truth to his family, lest they join him in Hell.2) Heath himself could come back to life for a brief period to
speak to his loved ones on earth, he would lift up his voice in a
hideous scream, to wit: “Listen to Phelps! For God’s sake,
Listen to Phelps.”
He would? Then why didn’t he appear to you in a dream and tell you where his funeral was being held?
3) You owe it to the youth of the world, whom Heath misled via
“Brokeback Mountain” into believing it was OK to be gay. I
say, you owe it to the youth ofthe world to use Heath’s funeral
to correct that lie. It’s NOT OK to be gay. It is a great sin
against God. It will destroy the life and damn the soul. All
those whom Heath misled will arrive ultimately in Hell, and
they will curse Heath to his face throughout all eternity.
Please tell us the time, date, and place of Heath’s funeral in
Australia. Thank you.
Despite the hateful bile the Phelps family spews, they’re becoming an outright joke. I find it hard to believe even they take themselves seriously any longer. Their claims are so far over the top that any rational person would be compelled to almost laugh in their faces. Sooner or later they will burn out with the combination of their obsession with gays and their need for the spotlight. With luck they’ll take a few of their companion haters with them.
