Straight? Unhappy?

We were on vacation in Orlando a few weeks ago. Much to our dismay, only a few block from where we were staying, the infamous Exodus billboard loomed over the main road. Every time I saw it, it made me quite uncomfortable.

It disturbs me that an anti-gay organization like Exodus can run a public campaign of disinformation targeting gays and lesbians, without eliciting comment from the mass media. If the KKK were to run a series of anti-black or anti-Jewish billboards based on similarly sterotyped views, there would be an outcry.

So I was pleased to see that a few clever wits have turned the tables, with parodies of the Exodus billboards:

 

There are more delightful parodies over at Zortnac's Primer. Hat tip to Exgay Watch for this one!
