Gee, hypocrisy from the god-botherers....that's never happened before.
Because to them, saying "It's ok not to believe in God" and "It's ok to be homosexual" is just as fine as saying "Not doing X is sinful".
Of course, they're too fucking stupid to realize that the second you imply a negative judgement on the people you're "targeting" as the ad, you've dun fucked up.
Saying "It's ok to try to be straight" is one thing.
Saying "It's a sin to be gay" is an entirely different statement with different sentiments. For starters, instead of targeting the group of people who've already desired to 'be straight', they're instead passing negative judgement on ALL homosexuals in an attempt to shame them into seeking therapy.
There is a word for that -- coercion.
That's definitively not advertising.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
