Woman sues all gays on behalf of God

A woman in the US had her case thrown out by a court in Nebraska when she asked it to decide once and for all whether homosexuality was a sin.

Sylvia Ann Driskell wanted to sue all the homosexuals in the world but in his summary, Judge John Gerrard said: 'This court is not the place to seek opinions regarding theological matters; this particular forum is closed and the case will be dismissed.'

He also said: 'To the extent that she asks for anything from the court, it is a declaration that homosexuality is sinful – a question that the court cannot answer. The court may decide what is lawful, not what is sinful'.

And in case Driskell was considering amending her claim, he added that this would not be possible.
