If the guy wins we can.
(He won't)He could win in Colorado under the recently signed law Colorado SB200. Not necessarily as a civil suit, but a criminal one. In fact this is exactly what the law states - What's more the publisher, distributer, poster etc. could face two years in jail for this homosexuals discomfort.

This is the key phrase in the story.
Fowler, who is representing himself in both lawsuits
An attorney who represents himself as a fool for a client. I hope the defendant's attorney plays hardball and sanctions him.
$60 million for Emotional Distress due to other people's reactions based on this translation of the Bible? That doesn't make any sense from a logical or legal standpoint. I don't think this makes it to trial. I wouldn't take this case, and I have a rather libertarian standpoint when it comes to gay related issues. Nothing is a sure loser in court, but this is about as close to one as it gets.

The lawsuit is in Federal Court, but likely under Michigan law due to diversity as I don't see a Federal Question involved here offhand. (unless he's an idiot and screwed up - which may be the case). Diversity in the legal definition refers to jurisdiction and not the left wing's holy grail. The publisher is in Tennessee, and the translator is from Grand Rapids (in state - so that MIGHT get tossed out), and the amount is over $60,000.
I expect this to get tossed out due to standing, maybe jurisdiction, lack of claim, etc, etc. I just hope this punk gets tagged with all the court costs for wasting my tax money.

Fowler says that while serving a sentence in the Michigan Department of Corrections" Nice catch. Michigan's rap sheets are online if the convict is prosecuted through the state level system (local isn't there). Here's Fowler's rap sheet
Cocaine, bad checks, manslaughter, and uttering/publishing (Forgery).
