Several Billboards that quote passages from the Bible seemingly affirming homosexuality have appeared across the Texas interstate, and predictably so, it’s angered a number of Christians who’ve driven by them.

Christine Lutz was traveling down Interstate-30, just east of Fort Worth, when she came face to face with a billboard containing a pro-gay message. “I cringed. I was disgusted at the same time,” she said. The billboard angered Lutz so much, that she fired off a stern e-mail. “I said how dare you take the scriptures and twist it to fit your needs,” she recalled. There are four billboards with similar pro-gay messages along I-30 that have started a debate among Christians in North Texas. Rev. Jon Haack, with Promise Metropolitan Community Church, said, “If we go back to the gospel readings, we don’t find anything within those texts that discriminate or exclude against gay and lesbian people.

Gay and lesbian, bi-sexual and transgender people are part of God’s creation too.” Rev. Haack is with one of five local churches sponsoring the billboards that advocate gay acceptance by all Christians. One billboard reads, “The early church welcomed a gay man.” Another one reads, “Jesus affirmed a gay couple.”

There are more examples at the group’s website.  The Billboard are supposed to run for the rest of September.   Personally I would rather people stop believing in fairy tales and taking their cues from a book written by a bunch of men from the Bronz Age none of us will ever meet, but I suppose I’ll take the more tolerant brand of Christianity if I can get it.
