Yesterday, Heath Ledger was found dead in an apartment in Manhattan. I think the whole world is shocked by the death of this young, talented actor. I know I was. I hope that his death was a tragic accident rather than a suicide given the success of his career and his young daughter, Matilda.
This morning, as I was perusing the internet, I came across this rumor. Things like this make me absolutely sick. How can any group label itself as Christian or family-oriented and protest at anyone's funeral? This is a time for Heath's family and friends to grieve and remember their friend, son, brother, father, etc. Yet, now, it looks like they will be burdened by a "church" telling them how evil he was for a movie role and trying to further their warped political agenda in the face of their sadness.
My thoughts are with his family and friends at this time and I hope that they can overcome the extra grief that this protest will cause.
I will forever remember Heath Ledger dancing along the bleachers and singing in 10 Things I Hate About You.
