Fred Phelps' 'Swedish King Is Gay' Tirade
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/08/082305sweden.htm

Anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps has caused an international royal gay flap over accusations that Sweden's King Carl Gustaf is gay.

Phelps, who runs the God Hates Fags website, makes the allegations on his newest site - God Hates Sweden.

The preacher who built his reputation by picketing the funeral of gay college student Matthew Shepard is angry over a Swedish court ruling that a fundamentalist minister broke that country's hate speech law during a fiery speech against homosexuality.

Although Phelps could be prosecuted in Sweden it is doubtful he could be extradited.

Let's take up a collection to send the good preacher on a one way trip to Sweden!

1. He has been receiving some attention here lately
He is almost always lumped together with the RW fundies and Freepers of America.

His good luck message to the homophobic pastor was not well recieved...

4. Pllease excuse us in America.....................
we are not all like these wackos. At least half of us are sensible, caring people with a live-and-let-live attitude.

I have no idea what to do about the small minority of hatemongers. They are sure vocal!

2. Could we kidnap him and throw him on a plane
to Uppsala?

I'd be glad to pony up some bucks so the "right reverend" could rot in a jail forever.

9. LOL Phelps is coming to Sweden!
Phelps and 20 of his freepers from the Westboro Baptist "Church" is coming to Stockholm to demonstrate against the Swedish King in the beginning of September.

Can´t wait ...
