SEATTLE. Anti-gay Bible verse found on gay organizer's home: Over the weekend, Shaun Shaffer put up gay and trans Pride flags outside his home in South Seattle. But Sunday morning, Shaffer says he noticed something strange: his neighbor quietly carving something on a nearby fence.

Leviticus 18:22 warns, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable,” and 20:13 explains that people who engage in these “detestable” relations “are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”
