DBWI: Fred phelps is homophobic

Bit hard to imaginate him as homophobic person when he strongly supposed LGTB rights. He even organised often demostrations front of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. And wasn't he too strongly for civil right movement?

You would need total mind change on him. But if he would has been strongly anti-LGTB he would be very dangerous man. He was skillful orator.
 
Given that Phelps' radical anabaptist literalism and quite honestly cult building is excellent it is hard to imagine a Phelps who is so ignorant of the bible that he opposes homosexuality as opposed to temple prostitution and homosexual concubinage. You can see his honesty to a reading of the bible in his cult's deep and public hostility towards homosexual prostitutes and unmarried homosexuals.

Maybe if he preferences his cult over theology and caters to US right wing hysteria?

Yours,

We could go the whole nine yards here and imagine that anti-homosexuality enjoys the same prominence in his repertoire that anti-wiccanism enjoyed OTL.

His picketting of high-school productions of The Crucible secured him a reputation as annoying(while also serving as free advertising for said productions) but when he accelerated to hollering outside wiccan funerals(or whatever they have), that really got a lot of people's dander up, even people who weren't otherwise positively disposed toward goddess worship.

If he did the same thing with, let's say, The Laramie Project and AIDS funerals, the results could be interesting, given that more people, even homophobes, probably have gay friend and relatives than have wiccan friends and relatives.
