A few days ago, the Lifetime channel had a gay Episcopal priest and his “husband” with their adopted baby along with the obligatory remark about small towns not accepting gays. Chewy pet food boxes lined the church and the priest said how much he appreciated the donation for their homeless folks’ pets. Chewy was put on my ban list immediately after the channel change.
Noticed several jewelry commercials have gone gay this year.
I’ve stuck to Hallmark holiday movies since. Yes, they’ve had more diversity in their casting the past couple of years. Fine by me, just so they keep the four letter words out of Christmas and no LGBTXYZWHATEVER.
“Noticed several jewelry commercials have gone gay this year.”
Probably one of the few products where the companies thought it thro instead of just being PC. Two people with no kids makes for expendable income and they tend to be a bit extravagant in style. I’m sure Liberace made a few jewellers rich.

Talk about small towns and gays, reminds me of my son’e wedding. His mother-in-law and father-m-law graduated from MIT back in the mid-70’s. The both got a job in DC, him with the new EPA. He has worked in the same building all those years. Mother-in-law with her anthropology PhD went to work for the Smithsonian. She never left the building she started work in.
Both are extremely liberal and are completely convinced that Wash DC should control every aspect of life, to run the country, that state and local government are an anachronism and should be abolished.
Anyway, when my son and his bride decided to get married, they were going to tie the knot in Corpus. Mother-in-law seriously stated she would not attend the wedding because it was in TEXAS, and everyone knows Texas is full of hicks and bigots. Besides, mother-in-laws son is gay and if he went to the wedding we Texans would beat and kill her homosexual son.
Seriously. She truly believed in all that nonsense.
Eventually she relented, barely, and came to the wedding. When in Corpus she said she was surprised at the diversity of Texas, and was doubly surprised by the high number of Hispanic people in Corpus.
Ignorance grows in DC. . .
If we saw that same movie with the Episcopal priest, and if I remember correctly, the priest’s black partner who was carrying a baby, was introduced as his “WIFE.”
We agreed to shut it down immediately and deleted all Lifetime content. And if Hallmark, which we enjoy, introduces such characters, we shall delete Hallmark also.
Zero tolerance here and I don’t apologize.
I know that going to Netflix, Hulu, Disney, or any other company or independent producer, in time, will have the same content.
It’s just a matter of time.
