Not ones to let a story pass without offering their take, Westboro Baptist Church took some time this weekend to weigh in on John Edwards, the failed presidential candidate who admitted sticking it to a woman not his wife. For that, the WBC claims, Edwards shall forever be known as a "fag enabler." Their illogic astounds us. [Pink News]

Um, are they unclear on the whole penis-and-vagina thing involved in heterosexual sex? If I recall correctly, the Wholly By-bull says that's totally OK.
Frankly, I've not much sympathy for the candidate who was among the first to condemn Bill Clinton for his failed fidelity to Hilary, and who would have the audacity to even attempt to define marriage for society (as between a man and a woman, by the way). All my sympathy pours out to Edwards wife, who always supported the rights of gays to marry. As for Edwards, himself, let him feel the heat of WBC, just as we have for decades now.
I generally don't expect logic from the Phelps clan, but … what the hell?
Just think, straight people want to keep the sanctity of marriage and don't want gays to be able to marry for that reason. If this is what the sanctity of marriage is, I don't want it and they can keep it but don't stop me from my freedom of being happy with my partner. Call is something else but allow gays to marry.
If I read the linked article correctly, the "fag enabler" title is for his position on Don't Ask Don't Tell, not because he had a heterosexual affair… which at least would be consistent with the rest of that "church"'s activities.
