Counter a hatemonger with love and song
by digital Wednesday, Apr. 16, 2003 at 6:47 PM

Infamous anti-gay preacher attacks Mr. Rogers.

Fred Phelps (of http://www.godhatesfags.com fame) is coming to Pittsburgh on May 3rd to protest a memorial service for Mr. Rogers. How anyone can hate homosexuals is beyond me, but how anyone can hate Mr. Rogers and not be committed to an institution is a complete mystery. I highly encourage everyone to come out with us and sing songs from Mr. Rogers amazing show and help draw the focus away from Phelps mediawhoring and hatemongering towards more positive things.

Mr. Rogers dedicated his entire life to teaching children and I think he deserves better than to have Phelps spewing hatred at those who loved him. Lets drown them out with a positive message.
