Actually, neither is awesome and both are varying levels of unwatchable.

Whether it is better or not doesn't matter. Whether you think it makes someone a jerk or not doesn't matter. Fearing something and disliking it are two different things. Once you know certain things about anyone you can make judgments, right or wrong, and they do not have to be born out of fear. Prejudices and bigotry have been around likely since the dawn of man, and not all are fear based. I am just tired of hearing that cop out that anyone who doesn't like something is scared of it.

So what? Let everyone live their own life as they want and stop judging because you don't agree. This reminds me of my great aunt who would turn the TV off when a black person came on. Yet I found out later that she was a suppressed lesbian because it was unacceptable at that time. She grew up miserable and alone. So just let everyone be happy with their own choices in life.

straight hetero guy here.

I tuned in to the halftime show via Youtube. So I saw Shakira and JLo (and those were very nice, thank you may I have another upskirt shot of Shakira in vermilion panties? Love the way her hips dont lie)
but no trannys that I could see (unless they are that good?)

See, living here in the big city: there's a couple places I go on my bar-n-club-crawl (free parking on the east side of the complex) and I have to pass by literally, a gay disco to get where I'm going further down the block.
And I see their promo posters out on the street - some nights are drag queen galas and they alternate with baby-oil slathered Chippendale dancers for the gays. And you know what I say?

"oh that's not for me", and I keep on walkin. Doesnt hurt me, idontcare.

Don't choose to let it hurt you, be a big tough boy!

What letter of LGBTQ are drag queens ? Are furries next ? Same same.

Nailed it.

Funny I've watched and participated in thousands of athletic events and never once wondered about who anyone was dating.

It is a society embracing deviancy as a norm and abandoning principles of conduct. Without a moral basis, a civilization collapses.

There is a huge difference between tolerating marginal componants of society and celebrating their deviancy.

I just wonder how many people are going to stop watching TV/cable altogether because of the ever-increasing explicit LGBT+ ads and/or relationships being shown?

So many people say, "If you don't like it, don't watch" but lately one doesn't have that choice when it comes to commercials (as opposed to watching a TV program that, if someone doesn't like the content/"message", they can just not watch that program again).

I am almost positive that most people won't give up TV, but that is one of the reasons why my husband and I no longer have cable and have a very large DVD collection instead. I honestly don't think we are missing much.

P.S. And we also don't buy from companies that promote agendas that we do not agree with.
