Tomorrow, Sunday 30th May is the funeral of the recently deceased metal star Ronnie James Dio, while I never listened to much of his music he has made a noticeable contribution to metal over the last few decades and as such deserves some credit and respect. Unfortunately his funeral is going to be picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church, a church/hate group who regularly picket events they disagree with, most noticably anything relating to the gay community.
On the up side this organisation is very much a minority, being mostly composed of the minister Fred Phelps and his surprisingly large extended family.

An article about the funeral and also quoting a selection of things said by the less than friendly WBC.
