We had to deal with this thing all the freakin' time at Gay.com -- it's just adsense calling up "related" keywords -- and it took forever and a million meetings with google to get them to realize that "pray away the gay" was not something gay.com users wanted as peanut butter in with their twink sandwiches.

@missiondweller: at least mattymatt was kind enough to use "people." I'd have chosen words like "lying, hate-filled bigots" myself.

Remember folks: the Mormons are behind Prop 8. You shouldn't need any other reason to vote against it.

Actually this is a good thing if they're wasting their money "advertising" to people who are, we all assume, dead-set against the measure! So maybe I'll go to one of these sites and click on the ad. Just doing my part to waste even a tiny portion of their funds.

I don't think it "has." You don't have to be left-wing to be opposed to government intervention in peoples' private lives. In fact, that sounds kinda right-wing to me.

"people"??? When did sfist turn into a left wing political blog?

DU is having the same problem. I believe it is teh result of poor Google AdSense filtering.

Maybe they subscribe to the notion "Help stamp out gay sex; legalize gay marriage"?
