So the Oklahoma-based Baptist Messenger, an 85,000-circ newsletter for god-fearing conservative religious types, accidentally violated that whole “thou shall not bear false witness” contract man made with the lord by forging the signature of Gov. Brad Henry, and the State Seal, on a ridiculous thing called the “Proclamation for Morality.”
Sometimes newspapers do manage to fake their work. But the Baptist Messenger didn’t just goof — it blatantly Photoshopped the gov’s signature to give its anti-gay “Proclamation” that much more authority.
The newspaper has since, uh, apologized for the “oversight”: “In the July 16 Messenger, the graphic representation of the Oklahoma Citizen’s Proclamation for Morality was misleading, indicating that Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry and Secretary of State Susan Savage had signed the document. This is not the case, and the Messenger staff apologizes for the oversight and error.”
Take it up with your creator.
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.

These christian zealots are so full of themselves that they don’t realize their public-facing acts are indistinguishable from sorcery!
These nutty churchy people draw up documents of power, full of flair and certainty, as though it would make them true. It’s almost like they think they can bend the power of law to their will, and craft it into some sort of magic spell!
