Fridays are fun for everyone except God
Okay, so this was one of the freakiest and most disturbing things we've ever seen on Interstate 64 outside of Richmond VA, and, whoa boy, we've seen a lot: there is a billboard, about yea (50 feet) high, and it pictures a tannish, smiling man, with this caption, "Ex-Gays prove that change is possible". Not even kidding here- when we saw it for the first time, we thought maybe all the ambient light pollution, or possibly our burgeoning cataracts were responsible for a mis-reading, but no, repeated and soul-draining commutes have confirmed that this billboard is the scribbledygook property of one PFOX.ORG, which is the interweb name of the Parents and Friends of ExGays and Gays. Please go read the website, because its willful insistence that people 'choose to be gay' is almost, if it weren't so very misguided and wrong, precious. So apparently there's now a sort of Bizarro-world version of the practically venerable PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), and tensions are sure to mount between the two groups, which in turn means this conflict can only be solved one way: dance fight.
No, but seriously, PFOX is run by some patently nut-headed kooks, obvs. They should footnote the state motto, like so: Virginia is for Lovers (Disclaimer: Offer applies solely to straight, god-fearing lovers who have sex with their sub-thoracic portions only partially exposed). Oh the South, you and your crazy antics.

Wow that's awesome. Of course they made it a little too vague, I mean they could have been talking about his brand of toothpaste. When ex-gays find a toothpaste they like they stick with it. At least that's what I've heard.
