'Gay' baby triggers row
This is a crazy world we live in
Posters of a rosy, puffy cheeked newborn baby have provoked controversy in Italy because the infant is shown wearing a wristband name-tag with the word "homosexual" written on it.
The add says "sexual orientation is not a choice"

Re: 'Gay' baby triggers row
lol, go propoganda
its a pretty bold advertising campaign. I am reminded of the anti-drunk driving advertisiements, while the message is good, the whole point is a blatant emotional grab rather than a real understanding.

Why is it crazy?
from the first link:
quote: "Exploiting newborns to suggest that homosexual tendencies are innate is a misleading and shameful act," said Lucio Volonte a leading parliamentarian for the Union of Christian Democrats.
How the hell is this new born being exploited? Is he going to show up for his first day of high school and the whole class is going to point at him and shout "hey! it's that gay baby"?
The only thing being exploited is the outrage by people who are ignorantly assuming that the add is one step away from being kiddie porn because it involves homosexuality and a baby.

Well, if it isn't about that, and it's not about being born gay, what's it about?

Advocating turning newborns into homosexuals through repeated exposure to Teletubbies and SpongeBob.

Yeah, but this is Italy. Everything they say sounds pretty gay.

They're not gay, but just "Italians".

Never seen that show, but I can imagine the "stupid factor" of those goombahs. I've been to Italy/Italian Clubs in 1999, all the dudes looked the same... back then though, they had buzz cuts they'd slick forward with a 10W40 like grease, pencil thin sideburns and they'd wear skin tight pants/shirts.

I don't see anything wrong with that poster.
It's just simply trying to prove a point.
