I'm not the first to point this out, but how come scum like Phelps who quote this line from Leviticus (which is intended as instruction for what was then the priests of the temple service in Jerusalem) never obey any of the other laws in Leviticus? Such as the laws of Kashrut? Hmmmmmm? And how come, if THEY can pick and choose which of the laws in Leviticus to obey, no one else can? Hmmmmmm? Phelps is just a horrible, worthless, vile, despicable, disgusting bigot. He has not read the Bible and decided homosexuality is wrong. He hates homosexuals and has gone spot-reading in the Bible to find sanction for his bigotry and hatred. Let him build his little monument to filth. Then let all the genuinely religious people of Casper bury it with flowers and sincere tributes to Matthew Shepard. Let it become a rallying place for all people of good will to express love, rather than hate, fellowship rather than enmity, peace instead of conflict. Let it become the exact opposite of what its misguided creator intends. If he can build it, we can better it. That's OUR freedom.
