Grandma's House

Finally a family takes a stand:

The father of a Marine whose funeral was picketed by anti-gay protesters from a fundamentalist Kansas church filed an invasion-of-privacy suit against the demonstrators Monday.

It is believed to be the first lawsuit brought by a soldier’s family against Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., whose members routinely demonstrate at military funerals around the country.

In case you have been in a coma or your local news hasn't covered it, here's why these lunatics protest at funerals:

Members of Westboro say the military deaths in Iraq are God’s punishment for America’s tolerance of gays. They typically carry signs with slogans such as “God Hates Fags” and “Thank God for IEDs,” a reference to the roadside bombs used by insurgents.

I hope the courts nail them to the wall. Perhaps if enough families fight back, they won't be able to fund their protests any more.
