People ask why I never consider moving to Topeka. Two reasons. Crime (I'd like to keep my car stereo, thanks) and Fred Phelps, a crime unto humanity.
Coming Out for One of Their Own (washingtonpost.com)
When [Fred] Phelps announced that his group was coming to picket at several churches and the high school, fresh battle lines were drawn. To many here, homosexuality was a sin, but Michael Shackelford was their sinner. Just as the November election was reducing moral issues to red or blue, Sand Springs confronted subtler shades of truth. Janice Shackelford was terrified by the persecution of her son, then surprised by what happened next.
