Four billboards along Interstate 30 are sparking a debate over whether gays should be welcomed at local churches. A coalition of five churches that are part of a larger congregation of prodominatly gay Christians have put up four billboards on I-30 between Grand Prairie and Fort Worth with messages urging Christians to accept gays. One billboard reads "The early church welcomed a gay man" and another reads, "Would Jesus discriminate."
Reverend Colleen Darraugh with the Metropolitan Community Church of Greater Dallas tells CBS-11 exclusively they've been the target of controversy since the billboards went up last week.
"There are people who have told us to re-read our bible, which is the very question we're asking others to do. We've had people say how dare you take the name of God in vein," Darraugh said. The billboards will be up through the end of the month.

That was my guess, too. And you are certainlyl correct aabout their lack of evidence.
My own view is that the moral laws apply, but the ritual ones do not.
Yeah, Acts 8: 26-40 related the story about the conversion of a eunuch, not a gay man. All of these billboards are a distortion of the biblical passage or a liberal (progressive???) translation of something taken out of context.
Well stated.
So Paul is a Liar?
