(Indianapolis, USA) Jeff Miner is fighting for gay rights the Indiana way -- by citing the Bible. Miner is pastor of the mostly gay Jesus Metropolitan Community Church, which is turning heads with an outdoor ad campaign that highlights what it contends are gay-friendly Bible verses.

Acts 8:26-40'' and ''David loved Jonathan more than women, II Samuel 1:26'' -- have sparked criticism from religious leaders and conservative groups, who charge the campaign is misleading.
