Westboro Baptist Church tends to be insensitive to those that have lost loved ones, and use funerals as a way to draw attention upon themselves and their agenda. Part of their platform is protesting saying that God hates gays.
Star Trek has had a couple of prominent gay actors, such as George Takei and Zachary Quinto. They believe that because Nimoy worked on Star Trek, and Star Trek employed gay actors, that there was enough of a connection there to try to disrupt Nimoy's family during their time of grieving.
Luckily, Westboro was unable to find the funeral, so their plans fell flat.
Because the church feels that his role in the movie Brokeback Mountain makes him an advocate for being gay and that being gay is ok. Which the church obviously doesnt believe that being gay is ok. The church is based out of Kansas and is called Westboro Baptist Church.
Since Walt Disney was supposedly an anti-semite, I would say that the Disney Channel would be right-wing Christian, possibly following the Westboro Baptist Church.

It is hard to say. I think he believes in God, because of a statement he made in the video against Will.i.am in saying "And God knows", so it seems that he has a belief in God, but nobody but Mario Armando Lavandeira jr would know what religion he is. I know one thing, he wouldn't be welcome in the Westboro Baptist Church.
I have reviewed the site and exhibits, as counsel for the church before SCOTUS. The seven picketers stood almost 1100 feet from the church as the crow flies, and closer to 1400 using the driving route. In a large multi-building complex, the church was in the NE quadrant; the picketers at the SW tip. People attending came off a main road on the north edge, and entered a NW entrance, or off a main road on the east edge and entered a SE entrance. No one going to the funeral drove by, saw or heard the Westboro picketers. A video taken by a videographer of the funeral procession route coming and going shows that it was physically impossible for anyone to have seen the picketers, or the tips of their signs, or anything else. Further, hundreds of bikers, veterans, military and citizens stood immediately outside the church, on the roads up in the complex leading to/from the church, and down by the school at the SW tip between the Westboro picketers and the church. They were noisy, intrusive, splashy--as they had their patriotic pep rally. The Westboro picketers, on the other hand, were quiet, peaceful, lawful, speaking and singing in plain voice (without amplification). The whole nation knows the Westboro picketers are peaceful and lawful. You couldn't care less about the dead soldiers or your families. This is a simple proposition, to wit, you hate the words, and you want the strong arm of the government/military to make us shut up saying the soldiers are dying for your sins. But we have a duty to say the words, and we will faithfully say them until our testimony is complete. Thanks. Margie Phelps, WBC
