Nate Phelps, Estranged Son of "God Hates Fags" Pastor Fred Phelps, Hired by Canada's Leading Atheist Organization

Centre for Inquiry Appoints Outspoken Secularist and Gay Rights Champion to Calgary Office

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - July 15, 2010) - Nate Phelps, son of homophobic pastor Fred Phelps has been hired as Executive Director of the Alberta branch of the Centre for Inquiry (CFI) Canada.

Phelps has garnered international attention for speaking out in opposition to his family's message of hatred and intolerance. He has also stood in support of gay rights in America.

"We are very proud to have Nate join our growing team." said CFI National Director Justin Trottier. "This is a milestone for CFI. Never before has a secular humanist organization had four staff in key cities in Canada."

After 25 years in the printing industry in southern California, Phelps immigrated to Canada in late 2005.

"I'm excited to have this opportunity to help grow a strong public, secular voice in Alberta." said Phelps.


This is a Press Release.

Interesting that CFI in the USA always declares itself a Secular Organization, but in Canada they are the "Leading Atheist Org".

Hmmm

1. What bad reporting!
They need to ask Fred how he feels about this. I hope it is making him twist in the wind.
