Advice to Gay Dads

ProudParenting.com has put up an offensive/humorous article giving advice to gay parents on how choose baby names. It sounds like the writer, Carrie Smith, is really serious. She's provided a chart of possible names for daughters of gay male couples with the advice: "For you, this task doesn’t need to be hard. Simply list all your beloved female icons and choose one of their names...In the unlikely event that you are a gay male who has no personal female icons, choose from the gay approved list below."

Icon	Qualities embodied
Barbra (Babs)	Talent, diva-dom, perfection
Cher	perserverance, longevity, supportiveness for the gays
Judy	vulnerability, strength, pain
Liza	theatricality, vulnerability, determination, addiction
Bette	boldness, sassiness, loyalty to the gays
Marlene	beauty, sensuality, subversiveness
Lana	glamor, suffering
Diana	kindness, vulnerability, tragedy
Joan	toughness, determination
Greta	beauty, inscrutability
Marilyn	blondness, beauty
Mae	independence, toughness, sexuality

It gets even better when she talks about naming sons. While she says gay dads should give their son a name that serves them "on the field and in the locker room," she emphasizes (in italics),

...ask yourself these questions: Am I partial to this name for the wrong reasons? Does the name I’ve chosen perhaps sound reminiscent of a handsome male escort, massage therapist, or adult movie star I may have encountered in my past or own in my adult movie collection?

She then gives a list of 'suspect names': Blade, Blake, Buck, Chad, Clay, Dirk, Kent, Lance, Rex, Shane, Shaft, Spike, Stud.

The lesbian section is just as bad...

Also, this website seems to have completely stolen their layout from Facebook...
