" 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???

What's a gay theme? Gay people engaged in a variety of relationships? Gay people working, eating, drinking, laughing, etc.? Gay people as patients, lawyers, doctors, teachers, etc?

[these are human themes and activities]
Ummm. Nope. GLAAD gives ABC an "excellent" rating, not for having human beings "working, eating, drinking, etc." but for identifying that 55% of these humans are "gay, bi, transgendered, etc."

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.
Romanticized and normalized? LMAO...oh no's...folks may perceive Homosexuality as normal....
Unbelievable....
I prefer violence on TV...now that is normal!!
