The comic behind Facebook’s popular “God” page is now using his awesome power for LGBT advocacy by crowdsourcing funds and launching a campaign that spreads a pro-LGBT message (It will mock and ridicule the Westboro Baptist Church at the same time.) In the last two weeks, followers of “God” have nearly met the goal by pledging over $48,000 to date to build “God Loves Gays” billboards in and around Westboro’s hometown of Topeka, Kansas. These “Westboro psychos” have been spreading a message of hate for too long, says “God”, and the billboard project is an attempt to reverse their ugly hate campaign.
“God LOVES gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people! BEHOLD! God is tired of having hate-speech put into his mouth by bigots. Therefore, the LORD shall put up a billboard in Topeka, Kansas that declares to all that ‘God Loves Gays!’”
The first “God Loves Gays” billboard will be erected in the heart of Topeka on Sept. 8. The cost of the year-long campaign is about $50,000, and the “Creator” has vowed to use extra funds to purchase additional billboards in Topeka and maybe others around the US. Those who contribute are offered bumper stickers, t-shirts, and even posters autographed by “God” himself (but more $$ goes to the campaign if you don’t take a perk) Visit Indiegogo for more details.
