Kinda a bummer about Phelps.

Yea yea, hear me out before you downvote:

You know how much the civil rights has been advanced for LGBI people because of his cult? Before, people like him could hide under the quiet acceptance of silent hatred we have going on in the US, and claim that anti-LGBI bigots didn’t really exist.

For all the evil and shock-mongering his legal-scheme hiding as a cult goes through (protip: Most of his family are lawyers, they’re intentionally trying to get attacked so they can sue towns / sates / police departments for not protecting them enough) they really did manage to put quite a head on the anti-LGBI civil rights countermovment in the US.

Without his cult, people leaning towards his worldview might never have been shocked into confronting their own bigotry. Others might have never realized that yeah, we actually do have a problem in the US with homophobes.

So for that, I salute him. Now hurry up and die - no one will miss ya.
