King Baby Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Albany, N.Y. — Some people in the Albany, New York area, are trying to get local officials to force the removal of billboards that show gay black men in a church, with a family, and on a basketball court. The church billboard says: "I am gay, and this is where I pray." The gay man in the picture is standing with a supportive minister. Schenectady city councilman James Allen said the message might confuse single moms, according to the Times-Union. "This kind of billboard is putting the stamp of approval on a gay lifestyle," Allen said. "It's directly against God's word and what God hates, I hate," said Pastor Richard Parsons of Consecration Temple Church of God Christ. The billboards are all over the Albany-Schenectady area, and local officials said they are protected by free speech. The billboards are being sponsored by an Albany-based group, "In Our Own Voices." http://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/15874729/ministers-attack-billboard-depicting-gay-black-men-in-church Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtraordinary Xternal Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 So sad... I wish them all well... though on a serious tip.... why can't you just love them anyway... I know its scary for some straight people and they might never understand but its so much more going on in the world right now than to worry about god loving gays...

King Baby Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 great message. They always forget the story where Jesus asked those religious nutcases, "Will he who has not sinned, cast the first stone"... If Jesus were alive right now, he would mostlikely be hanging out with the gays, society rejects, hookers, drunks, and addicts just like he hung with soicety misfits when he were here. I think the last place we would find him is in the church with the hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 God loves us ALL and we ALL have the right to go to church if we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Jesus hates sin but loves sinners (e.g. everyone). Any Christians who say otherwise are not true Christians. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 All the more reasons why I don't take some Christians too seriously. But to their defense, they are ppl just like the rest of us. And no one person can live an entire life free of committing any sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
