DES MOINES (AP) — A Des Moines minister says a marquee listing for a coming sermon against homosexuality has drawn protests and threats.

The Rev. Michael Demastus of Fort Des Moines Church of Christ said the title of his sermon Sunday is "Gay is not okay." That's what he put on the marquee in front of his church.

Criticism and a picture of the marquee were posted on Facebook. They elicited several condemnations from people who objected to the statement. Another posting said a protest has been scheduled at the church.

I wanted to see it. *snaps fingers*

Aha, found the pic... and a nice little article to go along with the pic that explains a bit more than the OP. Sorry, OP, not trying to hijack your thread.
