Next Westboro Publicity Stunt: Picketing Elizabeth Taylor's Funeral

The Westboro Baptist Church became a nationally despised organization when it began picketing the funerals of fallen American soldiers. Since then, the group has expanded its extreme anti-homosexual protest circuit to include events which garner even more media attention. The group's latest stunt was announced Wednesday via Twitter messages to various media outlets just hours after Hollywood screen legend Elizabeth Taylor died of congestive heart failure.

TMZ reports:

Those horrible, intolerant, heartless gay-haters at the Westboro Baptist Church are preparing to spread their evil message at Elizabeth Taylor's funeral ... a higher power tells TMZ

Margie Phelps -- daughter of WBC Pastor Fred Phelps -- took to Twitter today to announce the church is going to picket non-lesbian Liz's funeral ... all because Liz was apparently some sort of gay "enabler" and (God forbid) an AIDS activist.

Liz will likely be buried in Los Angeles -- where there are positively no gay people.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Westboro's First Amendment rights to assemble and peaceably protest, no matter how blatantly obnoxious.
