Hmmm. "ramming down our throats" ... what an interesting expression!

I wonder what is meant by that?!?

Doctor Freud, please explain that to me!!!

Saturation breeds acceptance.

Forcing acceptance IS forcing the behavior. I am the parent of four young boys-Why should I have to make the decision to let them watch the SuperBowl or not? I don't feel it's MY responsibility to make this become non-issue.

Let me ask you this-If we played a video of a woman being raped long enough would it become a non-issue?
If we watched a murder enough times would it become non-issue?
If we watched a child being beaten and molested enough would is become non-issue?

Exactly where do we as a society draw the line? If we don't, what is considered "non-issue" will be just that.....non-issue.

It's not funny when you have to explain perverse acts portrayed on TV to children.
Am I the only one getting tired of the whole "I'm gay and proud " in your face tactics?

There's a difference between two people of the same sex being IN LOVE and people being RAPED and MURDERED.

Your comparisons are total BS.

So commercials about ED for straight couples that are shown every 10 minutes are fine to explain to your kids when they ask?

I thought not.

1. I didn't see any "I'm gay and proud" attitude in the ads. If anything, the ads portray gays in a negative light.

2. If you're worried about having to explain "perverse acts" to your children, then you better not watch the Super Bowl at all - or at least be prepared to change the channel every time a commercial comes on.

I don't care much for gays, but I really don't care for parents who let the TV be the babysitter for their kids.

I mean seriously, if you have kids, how can you have time to watch tv? Throw it out. They don't need it either.
