Church billboard 'Gay-Dar' rage
I'm thinking of starting an "Only in New Zealand" category.
A billboard designed to challenge the Anglican Church's view on gay and lesbian priests has already been vandalised.
Auckland Anglican Church has put up a billboard outside its church, displaying a "Gay-Dar" meter that shows "Straight" on one side and "Gay" on the other and suggests the Anglican Church uses this to assess potential priests.
The church, which offers same-sex blessings among its services, has courted controversy with previous billboards, including one that depicted Mary and Joseph in bed with the caption: "Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow."
The latest "Gay-Dar" billboard had been vandalised by midday today with the cross ripped off it.
Reverend Clay Nelson said the damage appeared to be sabotage, which was frustrating.
