Fred Phelps, founder and head of the Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas and webmaster for www.godhatesfags.com, is shown here spreading his infamous messages of blind hatred and intolerance at the funeral of Matthew Sheperd.  Phelps and his church have been very active in recent days, inseminating the nation's media with the Word of God, or more precisely, their own incredibly narrow and stringent interpretation of it.  The most interesting thing about his ultra-reactionary, totally intolerant views on homosexuality is that they're so extreme and shocking to the general public that they do, in my opinion, far more good than harm for gay rights, as extremism usually creates a backlash of sympathy for those who are being discriminated against.  Either the Reverend Phelps is secretly working for the gay rights movement and is doing this on purpose, or he's just a small, hateful little man who's got a diseased little mind.  I'm voting for the latter!  Either way, Mr. Phelps more than earns the distinguished title of Chaensaw's Schmuck of the Month!
