I'm gay and my greatest hope is that Fred Phelps and his organization get as much press as possible. They are so over-the-top with their hatred that even people who are average conservatives pause and rethink their own homophobia. Its the same thing as when people see KKK rallies. People are generally good and will reject this kind of maniacal hatred when they see or hear it.
And the Phelps' do hate black folks, regardless of whatever nonsense they happen to say about being civil rights lawyers.

During their teenage years, both Mark and Nate worked as law clerks in their father's office. "When a black client was in there," recalls Nate, "my father would play the 'DN' game with us. It stands for 'dumb nigger'. We would all try to use the acronym as often as possible in the presence of the person involved." In the 1983 interview with the Wichita Eagle-Beacon, Phelps intoned, echoing Abraham Lincoln: "The air of the United States is too pure for racial prejudice to keep going, and the nation can't long endure half-slave and half-free. There is not any doubt that the problems of this country derive, in my humble opinion, from the way this country continues to treat black people." But according to his sons in California, part of the theology of the Old Calvinism Fred taught held that blacks were a subservient race because they were the sons of Ham, the son of Noah. Cursed for ridiculing Noah's nakedness, Ham's children were born black, according to the Bible. Some scholars attribute apartheid in South Africa to the fact that the white minority is predominantly Calvinist and takes the Ham story to heart.
