The gay-bashing, fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church must pay $5 million to the father of a fallen Marine for picketing the soldier’s Westminster funeral, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Court Judge Richard Bennett upheld a jury’s decision that the church violated Albert Snyder?s privacy and inflicted emotional distress when members protested at Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder?s March 2006 funeral waving signs reading, “Thank God for dead soldiers” and “God hates you.”
