Because of course, they are the only Christians that pick and choose the parts of the Big Book of Multiple Choice they follow.
Course not. The big book of multiple choice is contradictory and you can find bits to support almost any position from genocidal bastard to the highest form of altruism. But that's the point. Zen badger said that they are the ones most closely following the bible. I don't think that's true, they are just more closely following certain bits of the bible.
According to the bible, Jesus spoke on homosexuality exactly NO times. Paul mentioned it once or twice and it comes up in the OT a couple of times in context with sins like gossiping, adultery and suchlike. Whereas the NT in particular (which is what separates Christians from Jews) has plenty to say on the topic of not being a judgmental asshole, and indeed lots of other sins. Thus A church which has focussed its entire ministry on that one topic, homosexuality, and largely ignored the rest ( cannot really be said to be MOST closely following the bible. Just fixating on the bit that its leader has an issue with.
That's all.

If we can prevent pedophiles from straying within a certain number of blocks of a school or childcare facility, I don't see why these Westboro Bastards shouldn't likewise have their liberties limited. Enough is enough.
Laws aren't written in stone either. I don't see how a law that ensures right to bury loved ones in peace would backfire.
Very sadly, I can. Thin end of the wedge and that. Although the fat bit of the wedge is already in place.
Did you know there was a kid in the UK who was arrested for putting a joke on facebook which was considered in bad taste?
Once we start legislating for a concept as nebulous as "decency" we open pandoras box.
