Fred Phelps Mother Gay

Well, now she is. On Sunday The Satanic Temple performed a "pink mass" during which they 'baptized' Fred Phelps deceased mother as a lesbian. "The Pink Mass is a Satanic ritual performed after death that turns the deceased's straight spirit into a Cuomo one—it’s not unlike the Mormon practice of baptizing the dead, only much gayer." They are considering performing a similar ritual for Freddy himself, after he's kicked the bucket.

Good on 'em.

Hopefully that will happen tomorrow.
 
My husband better not call them to live out a fantasy if I croak. I'd be so ticked.

If a cousin wants to call them that's ok.

I actually have my qualms about this. I personally think it's hilarious and couldn't happen to a more deserving family/cult, and I think the message the temple meant to send (by engaging in a bit of satirical political theater) is that it is shameful to abuse someone's memory to make political points in the name of your religion.

However, I think the message many people ... especially people who are ambivalent about gay rights in the first place ... might take away is that gay rights activists have no problem with the tactics of protesting funerals and profaning grave sites, but simply disagree with the Westboro Baptists over who the victims should be.

We didn't need the Satanic Temple to point out that Fred Phelps and his supporters were huge [Unwelcome language removed]. The vast majority of people--including most of the right--already agreed. He was a big embarrassment to opponents of gay rights. Now they will be able to say, "Well, we have Fred Phelps on our side and you have the Satanic Temple doing the same thing on your side, so I guess neither side must be reasonable."

I've never heard of the Satanic Temple and couldn't find much about them on the internet; I'd be interested to see if we see more out of the group.
 
Only you could think that Fred Phelps or The Satanic Temple are politically relevant. This is nothing more than a lampoon of a right-wing fringe group operating on such an extreme margin that even the fruitcake right-wing base refuses to claim them.

Stop over-thinking this and get a sense of humor. You probably haven't heard of The Satanic Temple because they are nothing more than an elaborate joke.
