Campaign asks, "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,
http://www.borndifferent.org
, which asks: "When
did you decide to be straight?" Gazette, The (Colorado Springs,
Colo.) (7/8)
