Fred Phelps is Comin' to Denver

Progressnow

Apparently completely unbeknownst to Phelps, the state legislature is currently considering the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Responsibilities referendum this week. Today, in fact, it is scheduled for a vote in the House Appropriations Committee, and could see passage on the House and Senate floor as early as next week. What better PR could gay and lesbian couples get in terms of the discrimination we face than Fred Phelps picketing the legislature because "God hates fags?" I wouldn't be surprised if even some of the more fundamentalist legislators vote in our favor just to distance themselves from Phelps's hate brigade standing outside.
