Apparently, Americans suffer from Brokebackaphobia

According to a new poll, it seems that while Americans are straying away from homophobia, they're still Brokebackaphobics. In a recent HuffPost/YouGov poll, it showed that 60% of Americans would support their favorite sports team signing an openly gay player, while 20% would not. Also, 44% of Americans would strongly approve this, while only 11% would strongly disapprove. When it comes to party affiliation, 80% of Democrats would approve, 56% of Independents, and even 42% of Republicans. So, we're on the right track, right? Well, kind of...

Virginia pastor finds a "cure" for homosexuality - stroking horses

It's rumored that Mr. Bell also believes the following: That walking dogs can cure one of cancer, that swimming with dolphins can rid one of herpes, and that doing a duet with a T-Rex can bring about world peace. Scientists now firmly believe that speaking to the pastor of the Cowboy Church of Virginia will diminish one's intelligence. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/29/raymond-bell-cowboy-church-of-virginia-horses-gay_n_2381028.html
