" The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), the nation's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) media advocacy and anti-defamation organization, today released its fifth annual Network Responsibility Index (NRI), a report that maps the quantity, quality and diversity of images of LGBT people on television."
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???
Are you serious? "Pretty Little Liars" and "Glee" are very popular with tweens and teens. "Glee" lunchboxes, backpacks and notebooks can be found anywhere back to school supplies are sold. The White House had the cast of "Glee" perform at the annual White House Easter Egg Hunt. "Glee" is reported to be a favorite show of the FLOTUS and her daughters. You can find glossy magazines in your grocery store, with articles telling of the male casts' favorite "man dates." Some public schools even have "Glee" sponsored talent contests. Like it or not, these shows are being watched by our children and homosexuality is being romanticized and normalized.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
