You know, I had much the same reaction. I saw a lot of posts last night about how people were personally hurting because of this death. Um, you don't know him. He doesn't know you. Yes, it's tragic. Yes, it's sad. Yes, movies and film have lost a talented actor. But let's have a little perspective here.
What I find more disturbing, however, is that Fred Phelps and his band of crazies are going to protest at his funeral, because, you know, God hates fags, and he portrayed one in a movie. I hope his funeral is in his native Australia, 'cause I don't think Freddie could afford to go there, and the Aussies would probably kick his ass.
