Dogs Don’t Moo: Update
In a follow-on to the earlier story about a dog that needs to realize that he is actually a dog, the good folks at Focus on the Family have found a dog that knows he is a dog.
PERRY SWANSON (Colorado Springs Gazette), July 19.
Two pooches are the unlikely mascots for competing ideas in Colorado Springs over what makes a person gay. First there was Norman, the puppy who says “moo” because he was born different, according to an ad campaign that started early last month. Organizers of the Born Different campaign say Norman is a metaphor for gay people, who they argue were born different and deserve acceptance.Tuesday, a dog named Sherman launched a counter-campaign with a sharp “woof,” a sound he makes because, his creators say, “that’s what dogs do.” A campaign featuring Sherman called “No Moo Lies” begins today with an advertisement in The Gazette.
Colorado will likely join New York, Georgia, and other states in further protecting marriage by imposing bans on homosexual unions.
Colorado voters will decide in the November election whether to change state law to grant the benefits of marriage to same-sex couples in domestic partnerships. Organizers are gathering petition signatures for three other ballot measures to change the Colorado Constitution, including one to ban any new legal status similar to marriage, one to define marriage as only the union of one man and one woman, and a third establishing domestic partnerships for same-sex couples. The last measure is similar to the one already on the ballot, except that it would change the constitution rather than merely state law.
States are fed up and if Congress won’t act, they will.
