Date: Wed, 23 Nov 1994 15:32:46 -0600 (CST) From: A Preacher of the Gospel Subject: Phelps/WBC and The Advocate J.V. McAuley, Associate Editor The Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine) 6922 Hollytwood Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90028-6148 Dear Friend: Thank you for your Nov. 18 letter inviting me to tell you ro publication what 1994 meant to me, in the context (I presume) of the ministry of Westboro Baptist Church to the militant fag (a good Bible metaphor for doomed sodomite; e.g, Amos 4:11) community. Discharging the Great Commissionto preach teh Gospel to every creature, WBC conducted 1,560 pickets of fags, fag churches (like Mel White's MCC Cathedral of Hope in Dallas), fag conventions, fag parades (including Stonewall 25 in New York), fag businesses, fag shows, and funerals of famous fag-lovers and fags who died of AIDS (including Randy Shilts in San Francisco, Virginia Kelley in Hot Springs, Dr. Lydia Moore in Kansas City, Pedro Zamora in Miami, etc.); our message that God hates fags was carried on all national media outlets including CBS News, Connie Chung, Eye on America, 20/20, MTV, CNN, Ricki Lake, AP, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Dallas Morning News, Miami Herald Tribune, etc., etc., The Christian Antidefamation League gave me their annual award with this inscription: "Fred Phelps loves homosexuals more than any man in America, because he loves them enough to tell them the unambiguos truth." A disappointment in 1994 was that I was not invited to preach teh funerals of any fags who died of AIDS; but the offer still stands, and I believe these dear lost souls will one by one begin to see that Fred Phelps is indeed their best frined, and have me preach their funerals. Kindest regards and best wishes to you all. Fred Phelps Romans 1 26 For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
