var addthis_config = {“data_track_addressbar”:true};

A Christian church in Mexico has erected a billboard proclaiming that “The wages of sin are death.” The anti-gay message shows a man and a woman on their wedding day, and adds, “No to the legalization of legislation going against the commandments of God including abortion, same-sex marriage, and marijuana.”

Gay Star News reports the billboard was paid for by the church, Jesucristo Esperanza Segura and a local mayor.

The billboard appeared in Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital of Chiapas state in South East Mexico and images of it began to spread of social media earlier this month.

One of the logos on the billboard is of Chilo mayor Leonardo Rafael Aguilar Guiraro’s Chiapas Green Foundation and the billboard also bears the website address of the Espiranza Segura Jesus Christ church headed by Pastor Joshua Perez.

Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation is banned in Mexico and there have been calls for the billboard to be removed.

Here is a video that appears on the Church’s Facebook page highlighting the billboard.
