For those who haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, Heath, who is heterosexual, played a gay cowboy. This apparently is just not acceptable. The film is a love story about two people who can't be together – it is moving, heartbreaking and beautifully acted. Heath Ledger was nominated for an Oscar for his outstanding performance but the homophobic imbeciles of Hollywood, living in their Disney-papered towers of 2.4 kids and a mistress on the side, decided that he shouldn't get the top award.
What mentality must someone have to want to picket a funeral to peddle their beliefs? How utterly vile a brain must such a person possess? In Australia, the freedom of speech laws are not the same as those in the US. I hope the protesters, if they get anywhere near the funeral, are locked up and shut up.

This picketing planned by Phelps and Co of Heath Ledger's funeral is despicable and nothing short of sick. Some of us seem to be intent on remaining uncivilized and unevolved.
