Gemini Cricket will be by later today to revoke your gay card.

He was mistreated by the paparazzi, who hounded him on behalf of the media. He was infamously bothered by their intrusions, and would fight back in a somewhat nasty manner. His feud with them was quasi-legendary.

As far as I know, he did not receive any bad press. I don't read any celebrity stories, so I really have no idea.

Yes, Gn2Dlnd's membership file is on my desk. I stamped it "Expulsion Forthcoming" on the front... in pink, of course.

I just had to console 2 very young gay-friendly twentysomethings in my office because they heard that Fred Phelps and followers are going to picket Ledger's funeral. They were so distraught at the idea that someone would do that. I told them that Fred is most likely a closeted gay hater and his followers are all family members. The more he does this, the more people will realize that fundies and extremists on either side of the spectrum are nuts.

I do find it odd that people are surprised by Phelps, considering his cult has been around for so long doing the same exact things (I remember when he protested Matthew Shepard's funeral, and that was back in 1998).

So can't we organize some countering, protection display ... like they did for Shepard with the giant angel wings that shielded the funeral from the nutball scorn of the inbred hatemongers?

Perhaps, since Heath's only connection to teh gay is Brokeback, we should dress as giant Mountains, and thus shield the actual mourners with our geological bulk.

Sign me up to protest Phelp's funeral once that man croaks.

Oh, well, I'd totally be up for throwing a mass party in front of his church's steps.

I will be treating his death with the same indifference I have about him now. Beneath me. After all, when you're a queen....
