If you want some work-day bewilderment, visit [No Moo Lies](http://www.family.org/cforum/sherman/). This website is Focus on the Family’s argument against domestic partnership rights in Colorado. It features Sherman the Bassett
Hound, a lovable mascot who, try as he might, cannot turn his bark into a moo.

If this were satire it would be hilarious but, because the website was launched by people who take its message seriously, it’s just plain sad. Actually, it’s more than sad: visiting this site made my soul hurt for all the people that actually agree with these people.

As someone with a gay family member, Focus on the Family, so-called “reparitive-therapy” pushers and all other bigots of their ilk really make me angry. Not just mad, but truly angry. I’d call them idiots, but they’re crafty enough to have a following. Then again, so did the whole “science” of genetic racism in its time, so did “scientific” misogyny.

If you’d like to see what Focus on the Family’s newest and cutest campaign of hate and misinformation is all about, feel free to [visit the site](http://www.family.org/cforum/sherman/). I’m aware that my linking to it not once, but twice, is probably going to boost its ratings, but it’s always better to turn a light on the cockroaches.

All I can say is that if these people are the definition of Christian, I must be a heathen.
