Defiant in not test posting... PFOX billboards are evil
What is PFOX you ask? Apparently it's some, "parents and friends of Ex-gays" group sponsored by the sicko christian right. Since it's my beat to hit social issues... enter the crosshairs.
On the way into Richmond, Virginia from the East, heading west on 64 INTO THE CITY, there is a giant bill board with a really gay looking guy saying "There is hope." And then it says something about how, with the help of friends and family this guy isn't gay anymore. Now, just so everyone knows, I'm not gay. A lot of people are pretty sure I'm asexual (which is mostly true), but in any event, I don't think it's appropriate to make where I stick my equipment an issue for other people. I think "openly gay" is just as bad as "openly straight," and I rank both up there with "die-hard Republican."
First, humour: This ad is about a half mile from one that reads "isn't she a little young?" which targets an apparent epidemic of statutory rape in the area. I'll just drop that without comment.
Second, how hateful is that? People are actually seeking a constitutional amendment, even putting out an ad campaign to not only stigmatize but actually stamp out a sexual orientation. What next? "I used to be Jewish, but now I'm better"? "I used to protect the environment but then I realized I was wrong"?
for further reference:
reparative therapy?? ick
religious tolerance?
and someone who wisely agrees with me
