Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church heavily protested at Matthew Shepard's funeral in Casper, Wyoming on Saturday, October 17, 1998. Phelps held signs that said "No Special Laws for Fags" and even one that had a picture of Matt on it that read "Matt In Hell". Luckily, people who cared about Matthew and his family dressed up as angels and used their large wings to try to block out the hateful signs. They had ear plugs to block out yelling and they remained silent with their eyes closed or looking up at Matt in heaven.
