Give them equal rights and stop discriminating against them and they'll stop bothering you.
I agree the lawsuit is ridiculous but it's not like gay people don't have the right to be upset at us straight people.
And I didn't say they didn't have the right to be upset. But doing things like the marches where some definite bad behavior has been witnessed (and I wouldn't want to see straight people naked or making out either) and suing a Bible publisher is not the way to go about gaining acceptance. I'm all for gay people getting married and getting benefits for their spouses/partners. I'm not for stuff like this at all. All the frivolous litigation that is allowed to clog up our judicial system is the reason the real criminals don't get punished and it needs to be stopped. I don't care if those suing are gay, straight, purple, green, blue, or anything else. It's stupid and people don't deserve millions just because they think they do. Judges need to stop it and starting with this one would be good.

Hmmm..I don't see "stamp out christianity" anywhere on there?
BTW -- I've noticed a few comments on this thread directed towards or about "them" when this is ONE person filing the suit. I, and most of my gay friends, surely find such a lawsuit ludicrous.
"Bradley LaShawn Fowler, 39, has filed lawsuits in a Michigan federal court against Zondervan Publishing and Thomas Nelson Publishing, claiming some editions of the Bibles those companies put out call homosexuality sinful, which has led him to suffer discrimination, emotional pain and mental instability........."
The text in the Bible isn't modified as such, it has been translated so it's easier to understand.
You're pullin' our chains today, eh? You should probably check into the history of the Good Book. It's been a bit more than 'translated' for easier understanding.
Have there been lawsuits against "Heather has two Mommies" et al?
