A gay couple who were sent homophobic flyers instead of their expected wedding invitations have settled their lawsuit with the online printing company they hired.

Australian couple Stephen Heasley and Andrew Borg were getting married in the USA when they ordered their wedding invitations from Vistaprint.

Instead of receiving their invitations they opened their delivery to find a consignment of flyers declaring that homosexuality is a sin.

“Satan knows our flesh is weak. He preys upon our weaknesses to tempt us to sin. Satan can only influence us to want to sin. He cannot make us sin,” the flyers read.

The couple have now reached a settlement with the printer who described the incident as a regrettable case of “human error”.

Vistaprint has apologised for the incident and promised to donate an undisclosed sum to LGBTI organsiations in Australia and the USA.

“We have always wanted to use this as an opportunity to create greater understanding and acceptance of the LGBTQ community,” the couple said in a statement.

“We’ve accepted Vistaprint’s apology, and will work with them to select US and Australian-based organisations that they will be making donations to in order to further achieve this mission.”
