A homosexual man is suing a major Christian publisher for violating his constitutional rights and causing emotional pain, because its Bible versions refer to homosexuality as a sin. Bradley LaShawn Fowler, 39, of Canton, Mich., is seeking $60 million from Zondervan and another $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing in lawsuits filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the Grand Rapids Press reported. Fowler filed his claim against Grand Rapids-based Zondervan yesterday, alleging its Bibles' references to homosexuality as a sin have made him an outcast from his family and contributed to physical discomfort and periods of "demoralization, chaos and bewilderment," the paper said. He filed suit against Tennessee publisher Thomas Nelson in June. Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Julian Abele Cook Jr. refused to appoint an attorney to represent Fowler in the Thomas Nelson case, saying the court "has some very genuine concerns about the nature and efficacy of these claims." Fowler, who is representing himself in both lawsuits, says in his complaint against Zondervan that the publisher intended to design a religious, sacred document to reflect an individual opinion or a group's conclusion to cause "me or anyone who is a homosexual to endure verbal abuse, discrimination, episodes of hate, and physical violence ... including murder."

How does one go about suing money?
Another piece of evidence to adopt a Loser Pays system.
Before Zondervan published its edition, no other Bibles included Leviticus 18:22?
I wonder if a few Thiefs are going to also sue for emotional distress since
Thou Shall Not Steal is also in the Bible....
he might consider just suing God.
If this lawsuit survives a motion dismiss, we are all in in deep kim chi.
I almost admire the guy for trying this. He’s got vision.
That guy looks stoned.
******************
It was hurtful!
If the case is devoid of merit, the loser does pay in Federal Court - it is called Rule 11, Federal Rules Civil Procedure, I believe.
We are all sinners, just some have been saved by grace through salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ.
The person responsible for death is going to have one hell of a law suite on his hands. Uhm I think that was Adam and/or maybe Eve.
(not intended in insult our British and Canadian Freeper friends)
Maybe he can try suing King James while he’s at it!! LOL!!
I think this is good. The nation isn’t so far down the slippery slope that this will fly. This is bound to produce a precedent that protects biblical speech.
Yeah, he wrote a book.
What he does with the goat, I don't wanna know.
If the guy has a problem with the book, he should take it up with the Author.

He’s selling a book on Amazon. Caution:
