When did you decide to be straight?

In conservative Colorado Springs, home to backers for the state's anti-gay rights constitutional amendment and the group Focus on the Family, the Gill Foundation is trying to stir discussion about the idea of nature as a cause of homosexuality with an innovative ad campaign. The $900,000 effort uses street banners and TV ads with a puppy named Norman who can't stop acting like a cow by mooing instead of barking; the ads direct people to the Web site, www.borndifferent.org, which asks: "When did you decide to be straight?"

Colorado Springs also is home to the "Christian ministry" Focus on the Family, which has drawn criticism from gay activists nationally for its position that "homosexuality is preventable and treatable."

You have to read the comments at the end and realize that it boils down to one phrase: People who dislike homosexuality are repulsed by it. It's not religion, it's not morales, it's not ethics. They are REPULSED by the idea of homosexuality. Their loss for being shallow. End of story.

One can only hope that education will sink into their children or grandchildren so they won't grow up to be the bigots and racists that comprise the behavior of their parents and grandparents.
