This Is Not Right

No matter what you think about her family…

The funeral for a transgender teenager who killed herself last week has been postponed after her family received threats.
[…]
Now the funeral and wake for Alcorn were postponed. The funeral was moved to a private location, confirmed Tim Tripp, family minister of the Northeast Church of Christ in Cincinnati to NBC News.

Tripp said: “The times and dates had been publicised [sic] and the family has received threats.”

He went on to say that the family had heard that there would be “disruptions”, and a sign on the door at the church read that the service and wake had been postponed.
We all despise the Westboro Baptist Church for their protests at funerals. When we protest and threatening her family we become like them, let’s take the high road.
