This time it is suppose to be because they are protesting the Catholic church. However, the real answer is they will take any excuse to protest. They were protesting the funerals of AIDs victims back in the early 90s. Then they protested the funeral of Matthew Shepard, the 21 year old that was brutally killed for being gay. That got them a considerable amount of attention (and the counter protest against them there was beautiful).
Then, they decided to go big time and start insulting straight people by picketing the funerals of fallen soldiers. All with the excuse that because there are gay people in the States, god is killing the soldiers as punishment.
I despise them but I think the non-violent protests are the way to have the higher ground. They really are a small group of mostly family members. They get far too much attention and it fuels them.
