Fred Phelps to protest documentary about gay kid's suicide
Members of Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church plan to visit Pennsylvania to picket the showing of the documentary Jim in Bold, which tells the story of Jim Wheeler, a gay teen who killed himself after enduring taunts in a conservative community. Susan Wheeler, Jim's mother, said yesterday she doesn't plan to react to the protests. It's a free country, she says, but adds, "I can't understand the hatred. ... I feel sorry for them that their lives are so consumed by hate, but you can't change someone with a mind-set like that." pennlive.com
