FORT LAUDERDALE – A self-described prankster admitted playing a Bible verse over the public address system at the international airport last week that offended a gay couple, county officials said on Monday.

The unauthorized announcement quoted from Leviticus 20:13, which, depending on the translation of the Bible, states that: "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death."

Eggelletion apologized for the incident Friday after a gay couple complained they heard the Biblical passge while in the baggage area of Terminal 3 around 12:45 a.m. last Tuesday.

"It was almost so threatening I was frightened," said Waymon Hudson, who overheard the message with his partner of six years.

What will it take? Public shootings?

3. It apparently happened last week and yet it is only now being reported?

considering the amount of fluff we have been subjected to by the media, I am horrified that this story did not get more coverage, after all, in my opinion this young man is quilty of inciting terroristic activity....
