Electronic billboards in Michigan denouncing gay marriage are "the last gasp of the bigots," a lawyer says.
"They cannot accept that same-sex marriage could be legal soon everywhere. They just want attention. And the way they get attention is through their bigotry and their hate and their cruelty," Dana Nessel told the Detroit Free Press.
One electronic billboard carries this message: "Homosexuality is a behavior. Not a civil right." It also shows two photos, one of an African-American man that reads: Born Black. The other is a face covered in rainbow coloUrs. It reads: "Not born this way."
According to the website, restrainthejudges.com, the billboard campaign is about preserving traditional marriage.
It also urges Americans to mail a personalized restraining order to the Supreme Court and all members of Congress.
The campaign is sponsored by several conservative groups including Americans for Truth About Homosexuality.
