Homophobes desecrate flag at Mass. protest
Advertisements [?]
You just knew the Fred Phelps Burlesque Revue would be booked in Mass. today, didn't ya?

Here's the blow-by-blow:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/17/national/17CND-GAYS.h...
(registration; couldn't find this little gem anywhere else)

Across the street from Cambridge City Hall on Sunday night a dozen or so opponents of gay marriage led by a Kansas minister, the Rev. Fred Phelps, gathered holding signs, some with slurs against homosexuals.

"Two men and two women marrying each other is a passport to hell" said Katherine Hockenbarger from Topeka, Kan., who was standing on an American flag.


Standing on the flag? Can you say "flag desecration", kids? Mr. KamaAina can!

You'd think these nutjobs hated America or something. Oh, right, they do...

Remember, homophobes = flag desecrators; gay couples = true patriots in the finest Massachusetts tradition.
