Hate from the heartland
Kan. clan's tirade at hazing high
By RICHARD WEIR
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/story/131342p-117284c.html
Hundreds of Long Islanders stood outside Mepham High School yesterday to
blast a handful of out-of-town picketers who said teaching tolerance of
gays led to the football hazing incident that has rocked the school.
The picketers - eight family members from a church in Topeka, Kan.,
gathered on the sidewalk in front of the Bellmore school at 7 a.m.
waving anti-gay signs, including one that read "God Hates Fags."
"When you teach children that it's okay to indulge in any kind of sex
act that they like ... that it's okay to be gay, it is inevitable that
they will end up being violent and doing things that they shouldn't,"
said Margie Phelps, who protested with a handful of relatives.
Mepham High School has been in the national spotlight since three
members of its varsity football team were accused of sodomizing younger
players with objects as part of a hazing ritual in August, while the
team was at a preseason camp in Preston Park, Pa.
The eight protesters - four children among them - were drowned out by
some 400 counterdemonstrators organized by a gay rights group and an
equal number of angry local parents.
"Anyone that has a pulse in their body will realize that there is no
link between sexual assault, which is about power, and somebody being
gay," said David Kilmnick, executive director of Long Island Gay and
Lesbian Youth.
A small army of Nassau cops avoided trouble by keeping the groups apart.
At one point, a Mepham resident yelled to the Christian group, "Go back
to your trailer park." Others in the Mepham group carried posters
saying, "God loves everybody."
"This is just a radical group that wants to send a message of hate,"
said Marge Congello, whose son, an eagle scout, is a senior at Mepham.
"Bellmore is good community. We are being punished by a very bad
incident."
Debbie Saladino, 37, shook her head in disbelief as she surveyed the
family of protesters in front of her daughter's school.
"How they can turn hazing into homosexuality is beyond me," she said.
Then she spotted a sign held by one of the Phelps sisters reading,
"Thank God for Sept. 11th."
"That's a travesty. They have the audacity to come to New York and
insult 9/11. A lot of people lost family members," Saladino said.

Oh? So teaching children that they are worthless pieces of crap
deserving of an eternity of unimaginable pain just for being born has
absolutely _nothing_ to do with it, eh? Drumming into the minds of
innocent little children from day one that if they fail to walk the
razor's edge, God will hate them for all of eternity - that isn't to
blame for _any_ of it, eh? Slamming little children's face into the
Bible every single time they show a little independance or self-esteem
is completely _INNOCENT_ of creating any violence in the world, eh?
Indoctrinating little children to believe that some groups of people
are "bad" and deserve hatred and ridicule just for existing has
ABSOLUTELY NO ROLE WHATSOEVER in the development of violent urges, eh?
Words simply do not exist for describing the depths of this woman's
malicious ignorance. I'd thought of "Dumb ¢µñ+," but even that's
inadequate.

Lo, many moons past, on Sun, 02 Nov 2003 22:56:51 GMT, a stranger
called by some (Fredric L. Rice) came forth and
told this tale in alt.atheism
Then she spotted a sign held by one of the Phelps sisters reading,
"Thank God for Sept. 11th."
Gee, I wish they'd try that trick in Queens. They bodies would never
be found, the cops wouldn't care, and even if someone were arrested,
no jury would convict.
I applaud the reporter for not mentioning Fred by name, or identifying
his church. Deal with that, you attention-hungry slime mold!
