It is official. The American Family Association is literally as vile as the Westboro Baptists.
The AFA, home to deluminaries like Bryan Fischer, is now upset because gay soldiers are getting buried in Arlington National Cemetary, and officially are to be recognized as married to same-sex spouses.
Yeah, that puts these scumfucks down there with the Westboro Baptists - they're protesting the burials of our troops.

AFA Protects Arlington Nat. Cemetery From Gay Soldier Burials, Homosexual Hauntings
As previously reported, according to numerous evangelical experts, living gays are already capable of causing world-altering phenomena such as 9/11 and mass shootings, not to mention the fall of the Roman Empire [ed.: too soon?]. But today the American Family Association reports even more disturbing news: Apparently, our terrifying gay overlords have no intention of releasing their hold on the fate of the universe after death.
Thankfully, though, the AFA is here to protect us from the impending gay zombie invasion.
The Defense Department recently published a list of benefits now available to gay service members and their spouses following the lifting of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, including burial at Arlington National Cemetery. So obviously the AFA is enraged at the idea of people getting all gay-buried at the cemetery and then gay-haunting the greater Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, because this would “expos[e] the military to open homosexuality” and “endanger” the ”security of our nation,” which are actual quotes that the AFA has actually used to describe this threat.

Arlington National Cemetery told to recognize 'gay' partners as married
February 11, 2013
Equating homosexual partners to legitimate marriage, a spokesman for Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said, ”Policy for burial at Arlington National Cemetery is under review..” See announcement here.
Among sweeping changes just signed by the departing Panetta are the issuing of military ID cards, which will give same-sex spouses and partners access to on-base commissaries, movie theaters and gyms.
Other changes Panetta is pushing for are prohibited by the Defense Of Marriage Act (DOMA), which Panetta and the Obama administration have asked the Supreme Court to overturn.
This means the military will recognize homosexual lovers as “married” and will give a full slate of benefits, including burial in Arlington National Cemetery.
