This makes me sick.

I had an idea, though, that would throw this guy's hate back in his face.

I'm going to go to the Matthew Shepard Foundation and make a donation in Mr. Rogers' memory. I encourage all of you to do likewise. Not just because Fred Phelps and his Westboro Bigots would hate it, but because I bet Matt Shepard and Fred Rogers would be pleased, and besides, the Shepard Foundation is a wonderful organization. Take a look at the site, and you'll see what I mean.

So yeah, donate. It's a way to get back at the hatemongers and it's good Karma, besides.

Edited to say I did it and I bought a T-shirt too! w00t! *does "getting back at the arseholes" dance*

That is horrible. I hope that everyone today reads this. It's a bit of a reality check, isn't it?

P.S. I read that you took your NCLEX yesterday, right? It's going to take a month to get results?? I got mine in 10 days! Feh. I'm sending good thoughts your way, that you passed! Do you know how many questions you got through?

Not that many. Don't know if that means it was good or bad. Under a hundred.

No, that's good! I think the minimum is 73.

I can't believe some people are like that, you know? Just goes to show how far we still have to go. I believe in free speech and all, but there's a time and place for everything. Memorials and funerals aren't the place for this shit. Inconsiderate assholes. Thanks for posting.

That is absolutely revolting.

I can't believe people would actually do something like that in the name of their God. Isn't God supposed to be forgiving and all that? *shudders* And it's people like that who give Christianity a bad name.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. Protesting at a man's funeral?? That's appalling!

But good on you for what you did. If I actually had money, I'd be right there with you (and, as soon as I get a job, I will be). That's just...unbelievable, and something no one should stand for.

Go you!

Putrid, disgusting, filthy, wretched excuses for humanity. How sick do you have to be to find hate in your heart for MR. ROGERS, for God's sake? The man was a saint. Go you, Primrose, for taking action! *mad applause*
