Texas pastor dies setting himself on fire

EDIT: Oops, I misread this - he actually killed himself protesting in favor of gay rights, not against them - pretty odd

Darwin Awards in action

Ha. You edited just as I posted. Very good then…carry on.

This actually happened last summer. Religious or not, this man tried hard to do a lot for not only the LGBT community, but minorities as well.

pretty good evidence that he wasted the effort, I mean this is the first time I can remember hearing about it so…..not a lot of publicity, and apparently not so much success. Maybe he had cancer or something and wanted to go this way. Anyway, still a Darwin nominee. I liked his fight, but his final act did nothing but tormented his spouse and family I imagine.

In all fairness, I've seen this story shared all over Twitter and Facebook today and now here, with most people thinking this JUST happened, so it sort of seems like it did get attention, just a year later.
