To be honest, I did not have sexual relations with said Mr. Phelps. However, in this short film a certain fellow does not have the same good fortune.
For anyone not familiar with vile, hate-filled Fred Phelps and his legion of followers, they are renowned throughout the U.S. for protesting at the funerals of gay and lesbian people, most often those that have been victims of hate crimes. In recent years, Phelps’ group has taken to protesting at the funerals of soldiers who have died in the Middle East. Their warped justifications for these protests is that, in their world, God is vehemently opposed to homosexuals and has punished America because it supports gay rights through the 9-11 attacks and later through Hurricane Katrina. Anyone in touch with the real America knows that the very idea that this country would support gay rights is ludicrous.
With regards to the film, it was done by Kansas City filmmaker Bill Pryor who’s work can be found along with many a political rant or two at RaveFilmsKC.
