Gay artist Paul Richmond has created the above painting titled “Noah’s Gay Wedding Cruise: MarriageEvolved Edition.” Among the “drowning sinners” are Ann Coulter, former Sen. Larry Craig, Oklahoma state Rep. Sally Kern, and Westboro founder Fred Phelps.
Saved on the ark are Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Elton John and David Furnish, and Joshua and Steve Snyder-Hill, the founders of MarriageEvolved. NOM’s Frank Schubert weighs in at the Christian Post:
“Since those couples are inherently unable to accomplish the very thing that God intended for those who inhabited the ark – the procreation of the earth following His wrath for failing to follow His commandments.” “Marriage is intrinsically the union of one man and one woman,” Schubert said. “Government didn’t create marriage, it merely recognizes what nature and nature’s God created. Marriage was designed to bring men and women together because only those unions have the capacity to create new life.
The Family Research Council’s Peter Sprigg feels the same:
“The rainbow is God’s symbol, not an LGBT symbol. It’s particularly bizarre to use Noah’s Ark,” he said, noting that same-sex couples are incapable of natural reproduction, which is why same-sex is not included in the definition of marriage, and isn’t recognized as marriage in most states.
The artist and his partner will be among 25 couples that will take the C-Bus Of Love to Washington DC on June 21st for a marriage ceremony outside the Supreme Court. That angers Peter Sprigg, who claims that since prayers are forbidden on the steps of the Court because that would be considered a political protest, a same-sex wedding ceremony should also be banned. Sprigg: “They’re definitely trying to influence public opinion, and I hope people see through it.”
