Reverend Fred Phelps founded a US-based church famed for publicising homophobic and bigoted messages.

The founder of the highly controvercial Westboro Baptist Church, Rev Fred Phelps, is said to be "on the edge of death".
The 84-year-old's estranged son reported that his father, once a pastor of the church notorious for its homophobic and racist views, was in hospice care and near death.
In a Facebook post Nate Phelps said his father "is now on the edge of death at Midland Hospice house in Topeka, Kansas."
He said he had also learned that Phelps Sr. was ex-communicated from his own church in August of 2013.
"Im not sure how I feel about this. Terribly ironic that his devotion to his god ends this way. Destroyed by the monster he made."
A second estranged Phelps son, Mark, told Kansas newspaper The Topeka Capital-Journal the news was accurate.
Meanwhile church spokesman Steve Drain confirmed that Rev Phelps was being looked after in a care facility.
Mr Drain said: "I can tell you that Fred Phelps is having some health problems."
He did not elaborate on what those problems were.

I do not care how immoral I sound when I say this, but as a gay man, and a regular human being, I am incredibly happy that the world is going to be rid of such a vile person.
If anyone deserves to go to Hell for what he has done with his time on Earth, it is Fred Phelps.
I hope people picket his funeral to show the Westboro Baptist Church the amount of emotional turmoil that they have caused countless families.

I'm personally glad he's nearing his death. I'm not one to wish death on people, but this guy is an exception. I honestly hate the fact that him and the people who follow him have basically made fun of and have protested funerals, people with disabilities, soldiers, gay/lesbian, basically anything they don't see fit with. I'm willing to bet that the Westboro Baptist Church is going to come up with something where if you don't pray, come support them in their protests to follow Fred and the church or at least care that he's close to dying, that you're going to hell or you're going to be hated on by god.

Rot in Hell.
I hope your death is slow and painful.
I hope that you die knowing that your legacy is that you did more to advance Gay Rights than most people have in the past 20 years.
Today is a good day
Groovy
