God is smiling down on the state of Utah right now. Literally.
After some push back, the Divine Creator has secured two digital billboards that will appear in the Beehive State all during Pride Month. The billboards feature his face smiling in front of rainbow along with the words “God Loves Gays.”
Beginning on Monday, Utah’s most diehard fans of the man upstairs have been graced with the message from their maker as they drive along their local interstate.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“Mormons still think that Heavenly Father hates gay people, which is FALSE!” the Lord said in a statement. “I’m placing these billboards in Utah to set the record straight on the subject, now and forever. GOD LOVES GAYS. And I’m totally cool with their lifestyle too. Why else would I make so many wonderful gay Mormons?”
This isn’t the first time God, whose real name is not disclosed, has pulled such a brilliant stunt. Last year, God placed a similar billboard near the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas.
God says he plans to erect even more billboards to help spread his message of tolerance, so she’s launched an fundraising campaign to help cover the costs, and hopes to place several billboards in 22 more states plus Washington, D.C.

I wonder how long it will be before the christianists start screaming that this infringes on their “religious freedumb”?

Is that the God from “Family Guy”?

Since when is George Takei “God”? This has his old small creepy self written all over it!

I would prefer if we didn’t give any validity to their fables.

@Paco:
I was hoping it is more of a slap in the face to christians or a way
to counter their religiously based antigay propaganda.
Paco
@Realitycheck: you’re right. Unfortunately, as a collective, they do have political power that can’t be ignored.

For anyone that was wondering, this God is a Facebook legend. The guy behind it is an atheist, but he’s pretty accepting of everyone.

This “God”, like all “gods”, is a creation of “man”.
I considered saying: a creation of “human beings” to be gender-inclusive, but then realized that saying “man” is more accurate.

@Deon Letsoalo: What the hell? Small and creepy?
Vince Nocito
The billboards are funny, but they can also easily be dismissed by haters for that very reason. Maybe a more serious billboard with facts or Pro-Gay statistics would be a better statement

@Glücklich: Or maybe the God@TweetofGod is expanding.

Aren’t we trying to avoid stereotyping? I am Mormon and I DO NOT hate gays nor do I think that God hates gays.

Alright, let’s get something “Straight” for this article. LDS’s members (Mormon’s), nor the CoJCoLDS teach that GOD hates gays. How would I know? Oh yeah, twenty year member/convert here. Oh yeah, living in Hawaii, probably rank right up there with Pro-GAY states and places to be Gay and not always hated on. As both a member of the church and as a man who believes the teachings of the Church, never once have I heard the the Father of all “Hates Gays.” Never. Personally I approve your billboards, I disapprove your mockery of our Heavenly Father and your false statements against the Church. Oh, and what allows me to feel confident being here and posting? Maybe it is self righteousness, or maybe it was my time I spent working with the “Family” community and hanging with the then LGBA (now LGBT). People are people, Heavenly Father loves each and everyone of us.
