A small church in Toledo, Ohio has spent $1,500 for a one month commitment to a digital billboard that reads “Being Gay is a Gift from God.”
“The Rev. Bill Barnard, Central’s part-time pastor, said the billboard message will be linked to a four-week sermon series, and the overall campaign goal is “to make a leap beyond tolerance.”
“Members of the congregation have experienced places and times where being lesbian or gay was tolerated — kind of ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell, I know God forgives you,’” Barnard said. “We’re saying, ‘This is the way God created you. There’s nothing to forgive.’”They will continue the campaign as long as funds are available.

Update: The Church’s website has an option to donate to keep the campaign running (look about halfway down the page). Thanks, Mumblingsage!
Strongly approve.

Who deserves to have a sandwich named after them?
Josh Franceschi of You Me At Six. It’d have lotsa bacon. As in, you know, firetruckloads of bacon. The most bacon there has ever been in a sandwich. Because that’s just Josh.
