GLAAD - ABC Family Recieves an 'Excellent' Rating in Fifth Annual GLAAD Network Responsibility Index

Not quite getting this, considering Gays comprise 2- 4% (or 10% if you really want to stretch it) of the population, why would 55% of TV shows present Gay themes??? Do you know what your children are watching???
Wow more than HBO and Showtime.

Gawd forbid we show homosexuals as being on the same par as the rest of us.

You may want to teach your children to treat others like second rate citizens, but I do not.

You haven't heard about the "homothreat"?!?!?

Over the last several months "mobs" of frisky young gay males have been breaking into homes and swapping out the music collections with show tunes. Others, more brazen, have redecorated small condos in a matter of hours!!!

Don't let the "homothreat" change your color pallet or convince your children that show tunes are "normal." Be vigilant in this fight!

Nothing wrong with that. Homosexual attraction is normal for some people - whether you like it or not. It's been observed in every society for as long as history has been recorded. Why is that so difficult for some people to accept?

Homosexuality exists in hundreds of species, yet homophobia exists in only one.

Unbelievable....
By definition, homosexuality is abnormal. Whether you believe it is right or wrong is another story, but to deny that it is abnormal is disingenuous.

To disagree is not to hate. You're promoting Neo Prog propaganda.

As does liberal fascism.

Disagree with Obama; you're a racist.
Disagree on abortion; you're anti-woman.
Believe marriage should remain between one man and one woman; you're a bigot and a homophobe.


Rules for Radicals, ladies and gentleman. Rules for Radicals.

Wrong. When we're talking about "normal" human behavior, homosexual activity is completely normal. No, it's not what the majority of people do, but that does not mean it's abnormal. Being left-handed or having blue eyes puts a person in the minority too, but we wouldn't call that person abnormal for having those characteristics.
