Leviticus 18:22

Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Leviticus 20:13

If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Hate speech?

Can you show me exactly where in the Bible I can find the cartoon in the ad?

The Bible was not found to be hate speech at all, there were no Biblical quotes on that ad. The intent of the ad was probably judged to fall under what the U.S. Supreme Court calls "fighting words", possesing no redeeming social value, and placed there to instigate negative reactions, fighting words are not protected under the First Amendment.

If the person paying for that ad had just had Biblical quotes printed, without the editorial commentary made by the illustration, and the Court arrived at the same conclusion, then the title of this article (posted at least two other times this week), would have closer to the truth. As it is right now, the title is propaganda, and propaganda and spin are bad rgardless of which side is doing it.
