A follow-up to the story we posted a couple of days ago!
"I KISSED A GIRL AND I LIKED IT AND THEN I WENT TO HELL," a church sign in Ohio read for twenty-four hours before it was removed.
In case you haven't heard the song at almost every club in Hollywood, it's a reference to Katy Perry's chart-topping single, I Kissed A Girl, and the sizzling video that accompanies it.
Pastor David Allison of Havens Corners Church claims he didn't put the sign up to draw attention to the church but as a warning to teenagers who might be influenced by the video, which he calls "lewd and suggestive." He says he thought the message would be a gentle reminder that the Bible denounces homosexuality.
But, his message was mostly misunderstood and after receiving confused e-mails and phone calls, the sign was removed on Thursday.
The folks in Blacklick, Ohio, just aren't that hip!
Kim Welter of Equality Ohio found the sign "jaw-dropping" and that while she maintains that the church has the right to broadcast their opinion on a reader board, she adds that the GLBT community will find more than 300 welcoming churches in Ohio.
Pastor Allison claims that his church welcomes the GLBT also but still believes it's a sin - so just remember to bring your brimstone-flavored ChapStick!
