My Comment:  I don’t know which my heart hurts worse for, our country , Christians, or these poor misguided souls.  They label us and compare us to the Westboro Baptist Church.  If you’ve been reading my blog long, you know what I think about them.  That said, my heart is heavy.  I’ve done posts about gay marriage, if your new to this blog, I’ll put a link at the bottom for some of those posts.  This is not right, besides the obvious reasons, Christians are afraid of this, they are afraid to speak out, they don’t want to be hated.  There are families and churches pulling out of the boy scouts, there are Christian sports casters speaking out, and a very few ministers.  Why? God will not hold us blameless.  This is an event that will stand at the very capitol of a once great nation, and say, look here America your morals and your values are done, you can’t stop us, we will do what we want!  And then there is the slap in the face to God.  He will not remain silent, even though most Christians choose to.  He will not.

“Noah’s Gay Wedding Cruise:MarriageEvolved Edition” a painting by Paul Richmond featuring Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, Elton John and David Furnish, and Joshua and Steve Snyder-Hill, the founders of MarriageEvolved. The painting also includes “drowning sinners” Ann Coulter, Larry Craig and Fred Phelps.

Noah’s Ark plays center stage in artist Paul Richmond’s oil painting “Noah’s Gay Wedding Cruise: MarriageEvolved Edition,” which features Westboro Baptist Church members drowning in a deadly flood while the lives of gay animals and gay celebrities are spared on the ark.

Richmond, an LGBT activist whose works include paintings of men in various stages of undress and sexual poses, has updated his Noah’s Ark inspired painting to celebrate the upcoming gay marriage ceremony that will be held on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court on June 21 where 25 LGBT couples will be wed as part of MarriageEvolved’s C-Bus of Love event in Washington, D.C., and Columbus, Ohio.

Frank Schubert, political director of the National Organization for Marriage, told The Christian Post on Monday that he finds it ironic that Richmond would choose to use the ark imagery to promote same-sex marriage “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. We as a society have a profound interest in promoting traditional marriage because of all the good it does to foster an environment that is conductive to child-rearing – providing children the best opportunity to be raised by and experience the love of both a mother and a father.”

The painting, Richmond said on his website and on YouTube, is his “attempt to express a sense of hope and optimism about our fight for marriage equality.” “Twelve states now recognize gay marriage, but that’s still not enough, we have so much more work to do.”

Richmond and his partner, Dennis, will be among the 25 couples on the C-Bus of Love that will depart Columbus for their afternoon same-sex wedding ceremonies in the nation’s capital.
