According to this billboard in Indianapolis, Jesus affirmed "an alternative lifestyle". (I can't bring myself to put the actual image on my blog though.) You can read the article here. I am saddened to see that my home state of Indiana would put up such lies. At least someone else added the truth to the sign. I challenge people to actually look up the verses they are using. They must have assumed that nobody would actually look up the verses for themselves. Of course, this addresses another problem we have in this country. A lot of people don't know their Bibles very well. For every one's convenience I have included the actual verses below.
Also, important to note: Jesus didn't come to affirm anyone but to lead us all to repentance and believe on Him.
Matthew 8:5-13 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

5And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
