'God Loves Gays' Billboard Draws Eyes On Telegraph Road

DEARBORN HEIGHTS (CBS Detroit) - "God Loves Gays." That's the message on a colorful new billboard up in Dearborn Heights.

Complete with a rainbow and grinning cartoon God, the eye-catching sign, at 6850 N. Telegraph Road, is paid for by a crowd-funding campaign on YouCaring.com.

The website states that the billboards are meant "to show everyone that all humans are equal and loved by God."

"There are so many young LGBTQ kids who face daily bullying just for who they are," the site reads. "Sadly all too often LGBTQ teens take their own lives due to the extreme lack of acceptance they face from their family, religious institution, or bigoted bullies. It is extremely important that this message of love is spread throughout the world."

Dearborn Heights is the third city to receive a "God Loves Gays" billboard, according reports — the others, so far, are in Utah.  The campaign has raised nearly $17,000 toward at $20,000 goal for billboards in Michigan, including spots in Sterling Heights and Detroit.

In a twist, Dearborn Heights message appears on a revolving billboard that also features an anti-gay marriage ad by RestrainTheJudges.com.
