It raises the prospect that pregnant women could one day be offered a treatment to reduce or eliminate the chance that their offspring will be homosexual.

PeTA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Except Maybe Not So Much Homo Sapiens, is the source of the original lie. It would be nice if there were an organization holding our feet to the fire about unnecessary cruelty to animals in farming and research—frankly not my issue, but a real issue—who weren't obnoxious lying zealots.
When I was doing catering for Whole Foods, I had to work, once a year, with the PeTA people. They reek of self loathing.
ReplyDeleteAnd how bizarre that what they always wanted for their advocacy blitz to Congress was fake hot dogs. Why not a real food that doesn't use animal ingredients? Why fake meat?
