Khandro, //An 'abomination' is something subjective which causes abhorrence and disgust, and is how this man views homosexuality.// You’re missing the point. This man quoted the bible as supporting evidence that abhorrence of homosexuality is justified, but since the book is proffered by courts of law as a moral code upon which oaths may be sworn,...
I once participated in a marathon/relay bible reading, in a small square outside of the Hotel La Fonda (highly recommended, - D.H.Lawrence stayed there) in Taos, New Mexico, so everything that could be quoted from the bible was quoted in amplified sound; but that of course was in the land of the free. :0)

//Reading it aloud
Reading it over a loud speaker and aiming it at someone
Two different things.//
Not at all. Had he said it quietly to someone who subsequently complained, presumably the judge who deemed the words offensive would have ruled similarly.
// I still don't agree though, that the Bible has been censored. I think the preacher has been censored. //
Not true for the following reasons.
1) If it was the preacher being censored and not the book, he would have been prevented from saying anything .
2) Likewise, anyone else would have been allowed to read the same passages he was prevented from reading, with impunity. Although we don't know for sure that they would without trying it out, I don't think they would.
