A gay man has filed a $70 million lawsuit against two Bible publishers, claiming their translations of the Bible calling homosexuality a sin caused him “emotional distress.” Credit: rogiro / Flickr The man, Bradley LaShawn Fowler, claims the publishers, Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, have manipulated scripture with the use of the term “homosexuals” in certain revised editions of the Bible. “Fowler alleges that the term homosexual was deleted in later versions by Zondervan but in their 1982 and 1987 translations the publisher uses the term in First Corinthians 6:9 incorrectly,” Liberty Voice reported. “The older King James Version, from which his family pastor preaches, has caused him to be cast away by his family for its use of the word homosexual.” “As a result of suffering 20 years of mental instability and emotional duress, Fowler is suing $60 million from Zondervan and $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing.” Zondervan’s spokesperson, Tara Powers, dismissed his claims. “Since Zondervan does not translate the Bible or own the copyright for any of the translations we publish, we are not in a position to comment on the merits of how a word should or should not be translated,” she said. “We rely on the scholarly judgment of the highly respected and credible translation committees behind each translation and never alter the text of the translations we are licensed to publish.” Other gay activists simply wrote their own gay-friendly “Bible” called the “Queen James Version.” “The Queen James Bible resolves any homophobic interpretations of the Bible,” a website promoting the book states. “We wanted to make a book filled with the word of God that nobody could use to incorrectly condemn God’s LGBT children, and we succeeded.”

That about sums it up.
His degree of emotional distress is highly exaggerated and primarily theatrics. The entire world is not obligated to dance to his tune or he is intitled to compensated for infantile hysterics.
This legal action is very old and very dead. By Elena Garcia A homosexual man has filed a $70 million lawsuit against Bible publishers Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, alleging that their version of the Bible that refers to homosexuality as a sin violates his constitutional rights and has caused him emotional distress. Bradley LaShawn Fowler, an ex-con turned author, filed the federal suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Monday, the same day a judge refused to appoint him a lawyer for his suit against Thomas Nelson, The Grand Rapids Press reported.

What idiot court would accept such a suit? Have these people never heard of "Free Speech"? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)

What a laff. This American comedy doesn't get better than this.
One of the "Clinton Free Speech Zones"? I wonder if Bubbette! is going to bring them back? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Ummmm haven't we been hearing (from the LBGT crowd) for quite sometime that the Bible doesn't say homosexuality is a sin?? But then this idiot homo files a lawsuit saying it does and should be removed... “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
EXACTLY !! That judge should be removed from the bench, and disbarred, for Public Ignorance ! Si vis pacem, para bellum
Good point. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Me thinks this should be filed under "Historical Revisionists A**holes"... Since the revised "Queen James" Bible (gay bible) omits reverences to homosexuality, among other uncomfortable passages that refer to offensive things like "sin", no wonder you haven't heard that lately. The idiot was trying to have passages removed or censored from uncorrupted Bibles, which is worse than simply claiming that the passages are hatespeech. Revising historical events, censoring parts or whole documents and records, and indoctrination are the tools of totalitarians and communists; this mentally unstable tool is doing the same thing!
I wonder if Bubbette! is going to bring them back? They never went away - not under Bush or 0bama. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much I wonder if Bubbette! is going to bring them back? They never went away - not under Bush or 0bama. I know Boy Jorge had them,but didn't know about Obomber. He didn't really need them because white people not on stage or working for him were chased away by his supporters,and nothing on Earth would have prevented blacks from voting for him.

HA! Nailed. But...but...being "offended" is now THE biggest "sin" possible according to the Homo-Fascism/"Whitey-is-da-debil!" Cults. The MO of the Homofascism mob is to launch nuisance lawsuits every minute on the minute, then use the PR sledgehammers of Yahoo News, HuffPo, and NBC to echo such propaganda. A copy-cat media will collude to reinforce the notion of an "intolerant, offensive" Bible, to which end judges and pols will begin harassing, and threatening to arrest/censor (as in Canada) those who insist on enforcing God's word and re-telling to story of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The idiot was trying to have passages removed or censored from uncorrupted Bibles, which is worse than simply claiming that the passages are hatespeech. Revising historical events, censoring parts or whole documents and records, and indoctrination are the tools of totalitarians and communists; this mentally unstable tool is doing the same thing! Good assessment. What this hateful tool is doing is planting the seed of an epidemic wave of totalitarian/fascist censorship and depriving the 1st and 14th Amendment Rights (Free Speech and "Equal Protection") and components of the USCON for the rest of us. The USCON is unraveling fast. At some point our Rights is going to have to be defended by the blood and guts of Believers.
The current SCOTUS would not only accept taking on such a suit but EMBRACE it (along with a decision to censor AND criminalize "offensive" portions of the Bible.)
He could run for a third term and they'd still vote for him even though he's screwed them over for the last 7 years, now that's ignorant! “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
