Queen for a Day

The fun straight blogger who came up with the brilliant parody of Exodus International's "ex-gay reparative therapy" billboards is being threatened by the crazy newly "straights" who say he is violating their property rights. The ACLU does not agree and stepped in on behalf the the real breeder saying that parody is protecting by the Constitution's First Amendment (duh).

The Exodus billboards read, “Gay? Unhappy? www.exodus.to.” Justin Watt, of Santa Rosa, Calif., responded by posting “Straight? Unhappy? www.gay.com”, on his site, Justinsomnia.org. Though denounced by major medical groups like the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association, Exodus' "reparative therapy" attempts to turn gay people straight. (It includes a regimen of bad haircuts, fast food and football.)

“The moment I saw the billboards last September, I was deeply offended. The inspiration for the parody I created came to me instantly. How would straight people feel if their very being, their sense of self, was being so overtly disparaged?” asked Watt. “[Exodus'] response was to try to intimidate me into taking the image down. It's troubling that an organization as big as Exodus would go to such great lengths to silence its critics.”
