The issue is not the part of the ad which quoted the Bible, the issue was the very human commentary attached to it.

"From the article: The purpose of the ad was to indicate that the Bible says no to homosexual behavior. The advertisement displayed references to four Bible passages: Romans 1, Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, on the left side. An equal sign (=) was situated in the middle, with a symbol on the right side. The symbol was comprised of two males holding hands with the universal symbol of a red circle with a diagonal bar superimposed over top." Hey Luis - I don't know about you, but a slash across a circle with two males holding hands seems to sum up very well the meaning of Romans, Leviticus, Corinthians... But again, that's beside the point (which, I believe, you miss)! In a free society, there's no reason why a man should not have the right to express his opposition (Biblically-based, in this case) to homosexuality. In PC liberal fascist Canada, people have lost their rights to free speech and the freedom of religion (and other freedoms as well). That is tyrannical.

Let's say that we took the same ad, and instead of two men's hands inside that circle, I chose to place a white hand, and a black hand...then mader some sort of comment about how wrong inter-racial marriage is.

Would that be considered offensive?
