Here's a more relevant and sensible link which isn't trying to desperately use the unvieling as a political soapbox!!

Quite a scary site and I can assure most definitely not the voice of atheism any more than fundamentalism is the voice of Christianity whatever their opinion of themselves.

Obsession with sexuality isn't particularly becoming either. Not a great touchstone on your life when you define yourself by the gender of the people you have sex with. Making a big deal of such things doesn't really help breed tolerance or indifference.
