"Gay" baby triggers row

Posters of a rosy, puffy cheeked newborn baby have provoked controversy in Italy because the infant is shown wearing a wristband name-tag with the word "homosexual" written on it.

The photograph of the baby is part of a anti-discrimination campaign launched by Tuscany's regional government and is accompanied by the slogan: "Sexual orientation is not a choice."

"Homosexuality is not a vice and hence should not be condemned nor marginalised, or worse still persecuted," the Tuscany region's civil rights councillor Agostino Fragai told Milan-daily Corriere della Sera in a interview published.

Thousands of copies of the poster have been printed, and will go up on city walls and public offices around Tuscany with the sponsorship of Italy's centre-left government's Equal Opportunities Ministry.

But while Italy's main gay rights group Arcigay said the campaign proved "Tuscany is at the forefront, and the rest of Italy should follow it," conservative politicians have condemned it.

"Exploiting newborns to suggest that homosexual tendencies are innate is a misleading and shameful act," said Lucio Volonte a leading parliamentarian for the Union of Christian Democrats.

Some gay groups are also dismayed with the campaign.

Gianni Vattimo, an Italian philosopher, gay rights activist and European Parliament member described the campaign "excessive".

The slogan "is too biology-centric. Of course for a homosexual it is natural to be gay, but I'm not too sure it is determined by genetics", Vattimo said.

That's truly terrible.

Grace to you,

......and I was just reading in another thread that America isn't under Judgment for this kind of stuff because Europe has been at it far longer and they certainly aren't under any Judgment.

The dividing line is the Word of God and it appears that Romans 1 apply's here;

[Oh Hamburgers!]

this seems... excessive.

this seems... excessive.

Oh My!

Welcome Back Oh Hamburgers!

I Am Delighted To See You Back At Your Worthy Home!

Dear Brother, Post Early, Post Often.

Man So Cool... Oh So Not!

EXCESSIVE

Excessive Misery!

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

And the way of peace have they not known:

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Romans 3:10-18

Excessive Hate!

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

Proverbs 8:36

Excessive Tenderness?

The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Jeremiah 31:3

Excessive Reasoning?

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Isaiah 1:18

Excessive Love?

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

Excessive Grace?

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Impossibly Excessive

Except For God

Hallelujah!

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Matthew 19:25-26

Be Blessed Beloved Of The KING

The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Numbers 6:24-27

[mrs]

Fresno, you always have such unique and lovely Biblical responses. Thanks.

[Eliyahuw]

Just another piece of empirical data that proves, that stupid people are breeding!

[KeilanS]

So have they managed to conjure up any proof that people are born homosexual or have they decided to just assume it.

They're bound to find some "proof" eventually after all, if you look hard enough for something you're very likely to find it, whether it exists or not.

[Tehilah Ba'Aretz]

No proof is needed. After all, if you prove that homosexuality is genetic then you eliminate the possibility that folks who are not homosexual will become homosexual. That would spoil the fun for a lot of people.

[GloryToGod!]

As I see it this totally and morally wrong to do to a new born baby!!!!!
