STORY has discovered that the Westboro
Baptist Church leaders known for picketing
the funeral of Matthew Shepard, the young
college student brutally murdered in Wyoming
in 1998, have released the following statement
regarding the tsunamis which hit Southeast
Asia earlier in the week.
The statement, which was posted

of any gay Swedish vacationers who perished
at the time.
