The Westboro Baptist Church continued to find tragedies to exploit for publicity this week when the Topeka, Kan. based anti-gay groupannounced plans to picket the funeral of "Glee" star Cory Monteith.
Monteith was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room on Saturday. He was 31.
Although the show "Glee" features many homosexual characters, Monteith's Finn Hudson was heterosexual. Off-screen, Monteith was also straight.However, that did not stop the Westboro Baptist Church from tweeting a series of homophobic remarks after news broke that the actor had died.
"Westboro praises God for his righteous judgments. Hell won't be gleeful for #CoryMonteith - he taught millions to sin," the quasi-religious group tweeted.
-this isn't part of the article-
They also told Cory Monteith he's a 'gay' enabler in hell, and Lea Michele should kill herself. These people are cruel and call themselves a 'church'.
No. Just no. They need to stop. I barely think that they'll be able to protest, since they're banned from Canada, but still, this is just disrespectful.
