Dogs that Moo and Ex-Gay Penguins
The battle concerning whether or not a person is “born gay” has heated up once again with some very creative marketing. Regardless of which side you land on, it’s interesting to note that in this latest marketing campaign to see the humor with which both sides defend their relative positions.
An organization calling itself “Born Different” has created a website with their mascot Norman the dog who was born with the ability to moo instead of bark like normal dogs do. The message is that if Norman was born to moo instead of bark then some people are just born gay. One small problem though, there is no basis in reality for a dog ever being born that moo’s like a cow.
Born Different also highlights on their website two male penguins, fabio and julio, that they say are homosexual penguins.
The counter to the Born Different campaign and website is from Focus on the Family. who has set up a website called No-Moo-Lies with their mascot being Sherman, a dog who barks…because that’s what dogs do. There is evidence that supports this claim.
On the Focus website they counter that penguins can be ex-gay penguins by highlighting a penguin couple Roy and Silo. One day Silo met Scrappy and they ended up having some babies together. The message is that if animals can change their sexuality…then so can humans.
Interesting… yes. Silly…yes. And as O’Reilly would say…ridiculous.
