A gay-rights group in Sweden has started an ad campaign to promote its view that homosexual orientation can start at an early age. Visit the Stockholm Pride website and click the link for the site in Swedish; you’ll see an ad pop up with the photo of a small child, with childish drawings, and the slogan, “Birgitta, six years old, lesbian.” The group plans to spread its campaign to billboards. But there’s a backlash from a child-protection group which points out that pedophiles argue that children have a sexual identity, and this sort of thing encourages that kind of thinking. A Stockholm Pride member complained in response, “as soon as you talk about homosexuality and children everyone starts yelling about pedophiles”. Gee, can’t imagine why.
