It's just a few crazy people holding signs, big deal. Easy to ignore. Even near a funeral it would be easy to ignore, do a few nuts holding signs take away from the life of your loved one?
Again, it wasn't always this way. I can't emphasize how much things changed with them when they started protesting at military funerals because that's when everyone else woke up and started paying attention to them. Before that, they were already fairly well known in GLBT circles but just a footnote elsewhere. And back then, they would literally get in people's faces and yell at them. They made it impossible to ignore them with some of that crap.
