A gay man has filed a $70 million lawsuit against two Bible publishers, claiming their translations of the Bible calling homosexuality a sin caused him “emotional distress.” Credit: rogiro / Flickr The man, Bradley LaShawn Fowler, claims the publishers, Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, have manipulated scripture with the use of the term “homosexuals” in certain revised editions of the Bible. “Fowler alleges that the term homosexual was deleted in later versions by Zondervan but in their 1982 and 1987 translations the publisher uses the term in First Corinthians 6:9 incorrectly,” Liberty Voice reported. “The older King James Version, from which his family pastor preaches, has caused him to be cast away by his family for its use of the word homosexual.” “As a result of suffering 20 years of mental instability and emotional duress, Fowler is suing $60 million from Zondervan and $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing.” Zondervan’s spokesperson, Tara Powers, dismissed his claims. “Since Zondervan does not translate the Bible or own the copyright for any of the translations we publish, we are not in a position to comment on the merits of how a word should or should not be translated,” she said. “We rely on the scholarly judgment of the highly respected and credible translation committees behind each translation and never alter the text of the translations we are licensed to publish.” Other gay activists simply wrote their own gay-friendly “Bible” called the “Queen James Version.” “The Queen James Bible resolves any homophobic interpretations of the Bible,” a website promoting the book states. “We wanted to make a book filled with the word of God that nobody could use to incorrectly condemn God’s LGBT children, and we succeeded.”

What idiot court would accept such a suit? Have these people never heard of "Free Speech"?
Have these people never heard of "Free Speech"? You have Free Speech Zones for that:
One of the "Clinton Free Speech Zones"? I wonder if Bubbette! is going to bring them back?
I wonder if Bubbette! is going to bring them back? They never went away - not under Bush or 0bama.

He didn't really need them because white people not on stage or working for him were chased away by his supporters,and nothing on Earth would have prevented blacks from voting for him.

He could run for a third term and they'd still vote for him even though he's screwed them over for the last 7 years, now that's ignorant!
