Homophobic Westboro Baptist church in Kansas said it intends to protest Heath Ledger's memorial service with signs claiming the actor died and is in Hell because he played a gay character in “Brokeback Mountain.”
Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka said that she and other members will picket Ledger’s United States memorial services, not those held in his native Australia.
Shirley Phelps-Roper called into Australia's 2Day FM saying that Heath Ledger is buring in hell. Listen to the angry exchange here with Shirley and a furious lesbian here.
“You cannot live in defiance of God,” she said. “He got on that big screen with a big, fat message: God is a liar and it’s OK to be gay.”
A press release circulated by the church references Leviticus 18:22 in the Bible, which states that “thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.”
“Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there,” the Westboro Baptist announcement says.
Started 1955, the Topeka, Kan.-based church has conducted over 34,000 peaceful demonstrations opposing the homosexual lifestyle, according to their Web site, GodHatesFags.com.
“God hates fags,” she said. “The wrath of God has been revealed before the eyes of this nation with the death of Heath Ledger. … This nation worships the dead almost as much as they worship their filthy sex acts. America is doomed.”

Westboro Baptist church go fuck yourself, Heath ledger was not a homosexual he just portrayed one in a movie, i should get a camera and make an hour and a half long movie of you in your so called "church" if your "god" even gave a crap about gays he would have sent you to the farthest depths of "hell" long before this incident ever occurred.
That lady shirley sound like she's possessed. I'm also a christian. But I think Shirley has forgotten one passage in the bible. Judge not for you will be judged. Also "let he who hasn't sinned cast the first stone". Shirley sounds like a very angry & unhappy person. Another thing Shirley is forgetting because she so "angry & unhappy" is Heath Ledger has a family who derserves to grieve in peace. And as a true christian yes we know are own salvation NOT others. Oh I also want to mention "Jesus" died on the cross for ALL OUR sins not just Shirley's the Westboro's church. If there was some miracle or law that stopped all sin what did "Jesus" die for. Wouldn't that make him the biggest fool. The bible never states it hates gays. God dosent hate the sinners or the unbeleivers. He hates the sins of the world. Church is for the sinners!!!! God dosen't judge Shirleys sin above or below any others. She is spreading hate & using god & the bible as a front to do so. Heath has a daughter & she deserves & has the right to remember her father without the bashing.
Christian Fundamentalists are so funny, aren't they?
"A big fat whore bigot" Now that's more like it.
