Love, death, and Heath

By Ari | Jan 28, 08 09:55 AM

I'm assuming folks have heard that Fred Phelps plans to picket Heath Ledger's funeral. Calling Heath's death "the best thing that ever happened to [his] family," Phelps believes that in making Brokeback Mountain, the actor sealed his fate in hell.

Fortunately, as with all of his actions, this stunt is just making Phelps and his ideas look more insane, while bringing out a groundswell of love and support from kinder, sweeter, more moral people.

It's strange to feel such a sense of connection with a celebrity you've never met, but I was genuinely saddened by the news of Heath's death, and Brokeback had a lot to do with it. Good bye, my fallen ally. Thank you for helping to bring gay cowboy love to the mainstream.
