Downtown where I live, there are a bunch of banners that show a puppy saying “Moo.”  That’s all that’s on the banners.  No explanation.

But yesterday I saw a billboard with a dog saying “Moo” and it provided a link to the website Born Different.  As you might guess from the name and the banners, it’s a pro-gay website.

I think the illustration actually does more harm to the gay community than good.  Sure, they use a cutsy puppy dog and all he does is say “Moo” instead of barking.  It’s supposed to make you think, “Aww, the cute puppy.  It would be so mean to not accept it just because it moos.”

But, of course, no dog naturally moos.  It’s a totally ficticious illustration with no bearing in reality.  Thus, it fits perfectly with what the homosexual agenda actually is.

It’s a mask designed to disguise reality so that you accept the unnatural on the basis of its “cuteness” instead of on the objective nature of reality.

The website Born Different seeks to demonstrate that gay people are just born differently from everyone else.  They didn’t “choose” to be gay.

But of course whether someone chooses to be gay or not has no bearing on the morality of the situation.  In fact, let us look at another issue people are “born with”: the sociopath.

The American Psychiatric Association’s The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV-R defines anti-social personality disorder (aka: sociopathism), as three of more of: “(1) failure to conform to social norms; (2) deceitfulness, manipulativeness; (3) impulsivity, failure to plan ahead; (4) irritability, aggressiveness; (5) reckless disregard for the safety of self or others; (6) consistent irresponsibility; (7) lack of remorse after hurting, mistreating or stealing from another.”

According to The Sociopath Next Door by Dr. Martha Stout (who cited the above as part of how she determined her numbers), 4% of the population is a sociopath.  This compares to the claimed 3% of the population being homosexual (according to Born Different).  These people are “born that way” and therefore their behavior ought to be “normalized” if we take the logic of Born Different seriously.  We ought not criticize the sociopath who rapes a woman and kills her and her family before being discharged from the Army for “anti-social personality disorder” for his actions.  He couldn’t help his anti-social personality any more than a gay person can help his “gay-ness.”  Therefore, under the same logic, both should be treated identically: welcomed without condemnation.

But this illustration doesn’t go over as well as a cute dog saying “moo” despite the fact that it’s a much more realistic illustration.

And since I’ve now written this entry, I am officially a hate-mongerer.  Go figure.
