The leader of the New York-based Satanic Temple, Lucien Greaves, said that when Fred Phelps passes (which, according to his estranged son, may be soon), he will lead a 'Pink Mass' to turn Phelps gay. Greaves claimed to have turned Fred Phelps' mother "gay for all eternity” in a similar ceremony last year.

 

He said he hopes that Phelps, who created the Westboro Baptist Church, "lingers long enough to savour the full terror that must consume a mind as superstitious and bitterly haunted as his… abandoned by the only people he personally shared his spiteful and depraved sense of mission with."

 

He added: "At the time [that I turned Fred’s mother gay], I predicted that Fred hadn’t too much longer till he would pass, and I stated – in a direct tweet to the WBC – that I would be presiding over Fred’s own Pink Mass before too long. As I have made a promise to a dying man, I fully intend to do my very best to see it through, and the pomp and circumstance of this Pink Mass will surely far, far exceed that of the original event in Meridian, Mississippi."

 

It is an interesting way to send Phelps on to whatever comes next. Maybe he will become a drag queen in the afterlife!
