Members of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church are planning an ill-advised protest at tragic actor Robin Williams' funeral over his portrayal of a gay man in "The Birdcage."
The "Good Will Hunting" star passed away on Monday, and while details of his funeral have not been made public, members of the church have already announced plans to picket the memorial.
A message posted on the group's official Twitter.com page reads: "Westboro Baptist Church Hopes To Preach In Lawful Proximity To Robin Williams' Funeral - To Warn The Living: Repent Or Likewise Perish."
However, organizers at Planting Peace have launched a fundraiser to counter the church's plans.
Never surprised, always disgusted by these hateful people.

Couldn't agree more. So much energy to be hateful. It infuriates me that they call their organization a "church".

If we would all just ignore them, they wouldn't get the attention that they are aiming for. I wish the press wouldn't even announce when those idiots will be protesting.

Even discussing it here empowers them. Oh shit, now I'm guilty of it too.

Why do they bother? I think folks should just ignore them, walk passed them like they didn't exist.
