Billboards tout a Christian alternative to homosexuality

From the Houston Chronicle:

The advertisements, which depict either a smiling man or woman, bear the message, "I questioned homosexuality. Change is Possible. Discover how."

The billboards are in promotion of the evangelical Christian group Focus on the Family's "Love Won Out" conference scheduled for Feb. 19.

"The conference is meant to help people understand what causes homosexuality and how to prevent it," said B. Joe Cline, a Galveston resident who organized advertising effort that uses 15 billboards.

And

Cline said he got involved with ministry for homosexuals, because his son, who is now heterosexual, once was gay.

"People who are in homosexuality are there because of a disconnect or a gender identification that has not matured," said Cline, 73, a recently retired financial planner and 28-year Galveston resident.

Wow. A fundamentalist scientific breakthrough. Who whould have thought that?

Of course, that's heavy sarcasm. The truth is that medical doctors and psychologists really have no idea what makes gay people gay, or straight people straight, for that matter, which makes it particularly frustrating to hear such psycho-babble coming out of the mouths of people who couldn't possibly know what they're talking about. Increasing the consternation are the studies showing that these gay to straight conversions don't usually take too well. In other words, as Frank Zappa once sang, "you are what you is." It's clear that this ad campaign is much more about ideology than anything else. That, and playing with people's heads.
