Nutcase: Christian Photogs Should Print Anti-Gay Scripture On The Back Of Gay Wedding Photos

SUBMITTED BY Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 9/3/2013 12:03 pm
Last month, the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled that a photography studio's refusal to photograph a same-sex wedding was a violation of the state's anti-discrimination laws and "Dr. Chaps" Gordon Klingenschmitt is not happy about the ruling.

But he does have a novel solution: any Christian photographer who photographs a gay wedding should just print anti-gay verses of Scripture on the back of every photo.

Klingenschmitt said Christian business owners should print Romans 1:32, which he claims declares that gays are "worthy of death," on the back of all their business cards and announce that if any gay couples hires them to photograph their wedding, they are going to print the same verse on the back of each and every photo:

I just don't think that one is going to go over very well.....

Since more and more states are allowing same sex marriage, they need to think outside the box!

This guy and some of the other kooks would love to physically hunt lgbtq ppl.

I don't care what straight folks are doing in bed and frankly, it's not something I even think about. Why would I? I just don't get why there's so many people out there who seemed to be obsessed with the sex lives of GLBTs.

we won't have to worry about assholes like this. Why would you want a bigot to be anywhere NEAR your wedding?

Fuck them. Let's show them how it works. I'm sure there are plenty of photographers who aren't "christian" who would love to make money.

"I refuse to take these pictures!"

Judge: "That's illegal."

"Fine. I'll stamp the photos with 'The Bible says you deserve death.'"

Judge: "I find you guilty of discrimination and contempt of court. Bailiff!"

Well, that's the way it should go.
