American Right Mock Heath Ledger's Death
The American right wing have always struck me as a particularly unhinged group of people but this is a new low even for them. They are now mocking the death of Heath Ledger - and threatening to picket his funeral in some quarters - not because he was gay, which he wasn't, but because he once played a gay man in Brokeback Mountain.
It's beneath contempt...
As I said the other day, I really haven't followed Ledger's career, but the death of anyone at 28 is a bloody tragedy. To turn an event like that into a punchline is simply sick.
UPDATE:
Gibson has "apologised" because "some took my comments as anti-gay and offensive".
Hat Tip to Crooks and Liars.
