A Nebraska woman who claims to be an ambassador for God and
Jesus Christ has filed a federal lawsuit against all homosexual people on the
planet for breaking “religious and moral laws.”
Sylvia Ann Driskell of Auburn argues in a seven-page,
handwritten petition delivered to the U.S. District Court of Omaha that
“homosexuality is a sin and that the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a
life of homosexuality,”. “Why else would they have been hiding in the closet?” Read more after cut
The 66-year-old, who is representing herself in the lawsuit,
cites Webster’s Dictionary as well as a series of Bible passages in her letter,
which is riddled with spelling and punctuation errors, the Omaha World Herald
reports. She challenges U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard to not “judge God
to be a lier (sp),” and slams gay people as “liers (sp), deceivers and thieves”
in the case, filed simply as Driskell v. Homosexuals.
“I never thought that I would see a day in which our Great
Nation or our Great State of Nebraska would become so compliant to the
complicity of some people(’s) lewd behavior,” she notes. “It is of the Lord’s
mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not.”
The court has not issued a summons for Driskell, according
to NBC. Of course, that hasn’t stopped a number of high-profile gay writers
from sharing tongue-in-cheek responses to the lawsuit.
Steven Payne of The Daily Kos said he and his husband, Brian,
would be “liquidating our assets” ahead of a legal ruling in the case, which he
jokingly suggested is a matter for the Supreme Court.
“We anticipate the restitution ordered to this woman will
take us down to our very last penny,” he quipped
