There is a big one on Arthur Ashe near the diamond as well, luring people to their anti-lgbtq website under the guise of some vague message regarding lgbtq rights. It’s really upsetting tbh

Noticed it a few days ago. How much do you reckon it costs to rent it out for a good few months so we can put a giant picture of literally anything else up there like the Lowe’s cat or maybe a hammerhead shark

A big bold "BE GAY DO CRIME" billboard would go nicely there.

I would donate some of my queer dollars to make that happen.

Call the billboard company, get a quote, start a gofundme. I'll contribute but I'm way too lazy to organize
TripawdCorgi t1_iy8sjtq wrote
Normally I would be down to organize, but at least for the immediate future I've got too many things on my plate stressing me the eff out right now and I have to recognize when I'm at capacity, but will happily toss some money at a GoFundMe if someone here does this.

Lamar is the main billboard company, and according to their website a ‘Poster’ sized billboard (like the location in Carytown), would range from $300 to $2500. Prices depend on location, length of campaign, and number of ad locations purchased. So, budget for the $2500 range.
Edit: a word

What about the one on Arthur Ashe? I drive by that one a good amount. I think the user who suggested BE GAY DO CRIME has a solid idea

Yeah the real message is hidden under pages of bible verses and their interpretations setting it up to throw out the anti gay stance

It disgusts me when they misuse the bible for such a thing as this ... if they truly believed the bible they would remember the only 2 things we are asked to do in the New Testament ... love God and love others. So much anger and hate ... it kills me ... I had to learn and accept myself so I could remember what it was like when i was not loved and to love those around me truly as God loves them. I rather serve and love the lgbtq community, then shun them. I serve God, if He loves them, then I love them, whether that is with emotions, or by physical support such as clothes food or service needs.

The entire history of organized Christianity has been using excerpts from the bible to justify a given behavior, from colonization and the displacement of natives, to wars, to slavery. Millions of people at the time found a way to justify their behavior by pointing to their holy books and claiming a divine mandate. This kind of mental gymnastic is nothing new

I agree with you, and when I tell that to other christians I am known as the "fake one" all I do is shrug and move on, just like Paul did in Acts.
