Yeah, that’s what I thought I’d heard about the show.
Look a bit deeper. One of the biggest objections - perhaps the biggest - to fag adoption is that chidren need to be raised in a home with a father and a mother. Isn’t it obvious Hollywood is painting a different picture for us?
It’s the same old “Murphy Brown” strategy. “See? Single moms do a wonderful job raising their sons.”
Hollywood knows that television bypasses rational thought and critical examination. It’s been well-known for decades that an audience will accept via cinematic fiction what they would reject outright if it were presented as stated argument. It’s the way our brains work, and it’s contstantly being used against us.
well, except for the fact, that in this show, the boy’s mother is still involved. A bit of a shrew perhaps, but not disconnected from the raising of her son.
Watch the show (if you can stomach it, I no longer could after the first season - the actual first season with Sheen), and I’d be really surprised if you can catch any undercurrent of preaching gay marriage at the viewer. I don’t think it’s there. JMO.
