THE MOURNING OF HEATH BEGINS

Heath Ledger news today is turning to the star’s funeral.
The 28-year-old actor’s body has been moved to a New York funeral home; the Australian consulate in New York is also helping the family with arrangements.
Meanwhile, a memorial service might be held at the school Heath attended in Perth, Australia.
But not everyone is greiving — a radical Baptist church plans to protest any service held in the U.S. because Heath portrayed a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.
As for the mysterious whereabouts of his once costar Jake Gyllenhaal? He’s in New Mexico right now filming the new movie Brothers. He’s reportedly very upset and does not want to talk to the media — so the set has been closed to non-crew members and extra security has been hired. Very understandable.
And finally, model Sophie Ward sister of Gemma (Heath’s recent girlfriend), told Australian press today that Heath was “edgy” but “clean” over the Christmas holidays. “I don’t believe he took his own life deliberately.”

I didn’t think he had a girlfriend. I thought he was just dating? What’s up?

The church needs to shut the fuck up. It’s been two days since his death and they are pulling this shit? Please. He was a fabulous actor whose job it was to portray different characters in different situations and that was exactly what he did in Brokeback Mountain. The Baptist church needs to wake up to the 21st century and take a look around. What are they so afraid of with homosexuality? I’ve talked to people who’ve watched Brokeback who don’t support homosexuality but they still enjoyed the movie and took it for what it was- a great film.
