The billboards' over-arching message is, he said, about "preserving families and protecting people," Webster said.

That's not at all the way I see it, Mr Webster.

I’m curious if that Bible the guy is holding has these verses:

Lev. 18:22, “You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.”1

Lev. 20:13, “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them”

1 Cor. 6:9-10, “Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

Rom. 1:26-28, “For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper.”

You’ll notice the elected “victim”’s first impulse was to shut down the speech because he disagreed with it. He’s used to being able to do that by crying racism.

How about:

I am GAY
And this is where I SASHAY.

“The billboards’ over-arching message is, he said, about.....protecting people.”

#####

Yet another deployment of the violence against queers mythology.

I think the basketball pose would be more impactful if they were ALL holding balls.

Just sayin'.

Get off the plantations and join the fight to save America.

(Ooops! CAUTION- inflamatory language alert!)

Get off the plantations and join the people working hard to save America.

NOW where’s the left-wing media commenting on “teabaggers”?

[a fool in paradise]

The colorful attention-grabbing billboards of gay black men in a church

Celebrating their sins.

Wrong message to send.

He said he has talked with the city lawyer about taking down the billboards in Schenectady but was told the advertisements are protected under First Amendment rights.

How about a billboard that says "In your heart, you KNOW it's a sin." erected during "Gay Pride Month"?

Using the words “drive a wedge” might not be the best choice for an article about homosexuals.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

It has to rhyme with “Gay”, otherwise you’ll expose yourself as a homo. heh heh

[longtermmemmory]

The homosexuals are targeting the demographic which voted in favor of california’s proposition 8.

I am surprised those billboards are still un grafitied.

[a fool in paradise]

Shouldn’t the “This is where I PLAY” billboard have a picture of the guys standing in the park bathroom?

[DocH]
