This viral public service was launched a couple of weeks ago. I've really enjoyed the
videos, and love their "person on the street" interviews. This has sparked a debate on one of the local Listservs, but on the whole I'm going to say "love it!"

Meet Norman. He's a normal dog. He was just born with a moo instead of a bark. But he is still a loveable puppy. And so am I. Why be hatin'?

sample comment from the workplace LGBT Listserv:
Regardless of what the "moral majority" may think, this is not a theocracy, and there is no place in our system to legislate or discriminate on the basis of moral assumptions, which differ in time and space, any more than on the basis of genetics. Besides, what makes supporters of the biological explanation think it would protect us? In this country, the fact that biology gives some people a darker skin has not saved them from the tragic and ravaging consequences of racism, has it? Does the fact that biology makes some individuals sick protect them from being discriminated by insurance companies that don't cover pre-existing conditions? Now, racism and socio-economic discrimination, like homophobia, are choices that societies ought to focus on suppressing.
