An advertising watchdog has banned a newspaper ad – run by a Belfast, Ireland, church – condemning homosexuality. The Advertising Standards Authority ruled that the ad was offensive and indecent.

The ad states that homosexuality is an "abomination" and warns of "God's judgment upon a sin." It also says that it is "a cause for regret that a section of the community desire(s) to be known for a perverted form of sexuality."
