The anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church intends to picket the funeral of the two Powell boys murdered Sunday by their father, blaming their deaths on Washington state's legalizing of same-sex marriages, The News Tribune in Tacoma reports.

Occupy Seattle plans to counterdemonstrate.

Gov. Chris Gregoire is likely next week to sign the measure, which finished clearing the Legislature on Wednesday.

Margie Phelps, daughter of the Westboro Baptist Church's founder, tweeted Wednesday night that members of the small Topeka church will be at the Saturday morning service for Charlie, 7, and Braden, 5. She wrote that the protest is to "remind" Gregoire "they died because of her rebellion," a reference to her support of same-sex marriages, the paper writes.

Later, in a tweet referencing a news story about legalizing same-sex marriage, Phelps wrote, "This is why God's cursed you w Josh Powells blowing up kids."

What does same sex marriage have to do with what Josh did to his own children?

People just want ANY excuse to push their agendas.

This is a blessing in disguise. By doing to Straight America what has been done to us, this could change the minds and hearts of those who might otherwise engage in homophobia.

If this is true then this is the lowest this CULT has ever sunk. Josh Powell killed his wife and its obvious that nothing would have stopped him from killing himself and his children once he made up his mind to do so. The fact that this cult uses God's name for their own devlish acts is disgusting and I hope the day they decide to protest, somebody fuckin' shoots them! Enough is enough already. They need to put down the crack pipes.

Though I doubt they'll have the funds to show up, but who knows. Y does the media keep catering to these people I wanna know? Free advertisement so those few cruel people in the world can keep donating money to their "cause". Y are these folks banned to the world of obscurity so they can die out.
