Gay Man Files $70M Suit Against Bible Publishers Over 'Homosexual' Verses

By Elena Garcia , Christian Post Reporter

A homosexual man has filed a $70 million lawsuit against Bible publishers Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, alleging that their version of the Bible that refers to homosexuality as a sin violates his constitutional rights and has caused him emotional distress.

Bradley LaShawn Fowler, an ex-con turned author, filed the federal suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Monday, the same day a judge refused to appoint him a lawyer for his suit against Thomas Nelson, The Grand Rapids Press reported.

"The Court has some very genuine concerns about the nature and efficacy of these claims," the judge wrote.

Fowler, who is representing himself in both cases, claims that Zondervan manipulated Scripture by using the term "homosexuals" in 1 Corinthians 6:9 of their 1982 and 1987 revised edition Bibles. He also contends that the reference to homosexuality were deleted by the publisher in later versions without informing the public.

He alleges that since the older Kings James Version containing the term "homosexuals" is used by his family pastor, he has been outcast by his family.

The 39-year-old is suing the Grand Rapids publisher for compensation of 20 years of "emotional duress and mental instability," he told WOOD-TV in Grand Rapids.

In a hand-written suit, Fowler lists all sorts of charges against Zondervan including malicious negligence, strict liability, malice, libel, and violating his civil rights. He filed a suit in June against Tennessee-based publisher Thomas Nelson on similar grounds. He's seeking $60 million from Zondervan and $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing.

Zondervan issued a statement to The Christian Post that said they do not discuss ongoing litigation. The company's spokesperson Tara Powers, however, pointed out that they only publish Bibles, not translate them.

Court can not rule in his favor without adversely affecting that other famous holy book the Koran. I can not wait to see how well that goes over= muslims will make a dead judge rendering such a verdict , dead plaintiff and anybody that tries to strike the verse condemning gays in the Koran.
Notice only the bible has been targeted?
There is that unwritten alliance between the leftists, dems and the muslims.. -Tyr

The amusing thing is that this plays into the hands of us in the King James only crowd. It is the only English language version of the Bible that is public domain.

"The gay community is so upset with Christians. If they realized how medical coding books are set up to code them they would be irate. ICD-10-CM's code for homosexuality is a mental health disorder called Gender Identity Disorder (GID). Psychiatric Medicine uses the DSM III or IV to code and they code it the same way. If gay people think their lifestyle is normal then why are doctors coding it as a mental illness?

WHO (The World Health Organization) is a committee made of physicians and nurses from all the world; this committee designs our coding books used worldwide so the codes go into a data bank. The information is used for statistics and research.

We can study diseases by age/gender/race and so on by country and regions. Homosexuality is a choice. They aren't born with something like that! Otherwise, it would have a V-code attached to it and it doesn't. I don't have the time or space to explain V-codes. You'll just have to take my word. There's also E-codes. Homosexuality doesn't have one of those either. I'm telling you, physicians and the medical field define this as a mental disorder. Homosexual doctors aren't happy but they keep quiet if they want to practice medicine. less"

When I was working in ER, a physician actually wrote that a patient had "gay bowel syndrome". I had never heard of that before. It is now considered derogatory.

Gender Identity Disorder (GID)

I'm pretty sure that refers to transgenders. Homosexuality is no longer considered a mental illness.

"Considered".... by who?

[revelarts]

SPOT ON!!!!
YOU, SIR, GET ABOUT TEN OF THESE!!!

"Considered".... by who?

THE SAME LEFTIST WHO CLAIM AL GOREBAL WARMIN GIS UPON US AND IS MAN-MADE (ALTHOUGH THE EVIDENCE CONTRADICTS THIS LIE). THE PC CROWD HAVE RE-WRITTEN HISTORY BOOKS SCIENCE BOOKS, SCYCHOLOGY BOOKS AND NOW THE BIBLE.

As Tyr reminded us, the Left, like those in the 40's who thought they could use Hitler, found out that they were the ones who were USED. Like Hitler, when the muSLUMs (and B.O.) are done using them.......they will at the same mercy that Hitler gave those who helped place him in power.

By those that put together the DSM, that was cited in your link.
