Excellent points made in this piece; this being one of the best and aptly explains how we have gone from "The Bird Cage" "In and Out", and Will and Grace, on to "Modern Family", gay marriage and adoption, and the so-called "New Normal":

-----------------"How did most Americans come to believe that 25 percent of their fellow citizens were homosexual when the actual number is less than 2 percent? The use of humor and the overrepresentation in the media of homosexuals has certainly helped to contribute to this skewed perception.

A variety of social studies have found that people are more open to controversial and objectionable ideas if the issues are presented in a humorous manner. Laughter, it seems, causes people to lower their defenses, since humor is associated by the mind as non-threatening. Humor, it appears, has a way of desensitizing people to ideas they deem offensive.

It’s a false normalization based on misrepresentation and lies about their numbers. It is the same sort of overinflation blacks use with the media and politics to make it appear they represent more than the 12-15% they comprise.

“ABC Family” features a show entitled “Pretty Little Liars” that has a homosexual (two teen girls) relationship. Also has a statutory rape relationship (male teacher with female student).

That’s their ‘family’ channel!

Goal is to ‘normalize’ homosexuals to control public opinion.

The LDS Church owns KSL radio and TV, here in Utah. After viewing the pilot episode, KSL has stated that they will not be broadcasting this series in Utah.

Would be nice to see other churches perform similarly.

I will not even turn that channel on and add to their ratings and I hope eeryoe on here does the same.

I’m not telling anyone about it, I don;t want anyone thinkng what the big uproar is about and adding to their ratings, let this die to a silent death and give them another lesson like so many of their homosexual programs have been given.

Frankly, I don’t think I want to see any TV where the main characters bugger each other, whether funny or serious. I’m not into un-natural behaviors - even on TV.

If you can’t put them alone on an island for two years and have them produce an offspring unaided, then the relationship is perverted, period.

good for them and that is one thing about mormons. They do fight against the homostapo and the queer agenda unlike some.

The north east is rampart with their homo pals and homosexuals and yet that area is Catholic. Now there are Catholics which are real Catholics though I wish they would move out of that hell hole and move to a swing state and make it more conservative.
But there are millions who say they’re Catholic or prod and then go with the killing of babies, homosexuality taught to little 5 year olds, marriage, adoption etc.

It’s a sick unhealthy unneautal sex they do and the media is infested with these mentally sick people.

Every church, every black church needs to be talking about this and marriage, the GOP needs to get out to churches, Jews, muslims about this and let them know eevry week that there is a party today which is now endorsing this sick agenda and one canot sit there, kneel there, stand there in htis building and then vote for what you pray against.

For me and many others I know we’re not that religious but we sure as hell find it repugnant, sick, perverted, disgusting to even think of their agenda.

I think the last network television I watched regularly was the Mary Tyler Moore show, Bob Newheart and the Muppets. Haven’t watched the stuff in years.

Whether it is straight couples or gay people behaving inappropriately in public (disgusting either way) I won’t watch that kind of programming.

It’s more obvious all the time, too.

The issue no has mentioned is that there are a tremendous number of commercials where the announcer or character in the commercial is obviously gay.

Commericials with straight people, on the other hand, usually have a wife only or a wife making her husband look and sound like an idiot.

It’s across the board.

I had one woman trying to defend two men who she knew.

I pointed out that sticing their penis into a mans arse and having feces on it which causes disease is not my view.

I put that picutre into her mind and her face just changed, seems she had never really thought aout what tey do to each other and then I asked her becuase of this unnatural sex as nature did not intend for two of the same sex to reproduce ten why should tey have special rights and if you do not call it special rights ten please tell me what rights have been taken away from them and what do we have and they do not.

She stoppped , thought after her long picture in her mind of two men doing it to each other and then said for the only right was they cannot marry.

I asked can you or I marry the same sex, can a man have 4 wives as some religions call for?

She replied sheepish no.

At the end of the debate , she and I calmed down and she admitted she had never thought of it like that.
Seems she got her info form a couplke of homo’s she knows and she let emotions get in the way of thinking

Yes, all true - it’s across the board.

Yes, and it has been the entertainment industry’s agenda for quite some time: Not only normalizing homosexuality, but sexual deviancy of all kinds. I saw some of the filth on “Will and Grace” and “Sex and the City” : It was obvious what their plan was. Unbelievable. And now they go for the even younger set of viewers. Good parents should beware.

It’s a full-court press right now. Lots of outings, high-up polictical types giving it the thumbs-up, and TV networks working overtime to convince us it is normal. I feel overwhelmed trying to protect my family from this nonsense.

Growing up in central Florida in the 80’s, one tends to be very Disney-centric. It took a long time for me to convince my wife (and a Christian worldview class we attended that was given at the Christian school she taught at) that ABC Family channel is anything but a family channel. Once she was able to watch these programs with a restored worldview, and with much prayer on the matter, she finally came to terms with the agenda of Disney/ABC.

When it comes to homosexuals, I tend to think like Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets: “As long as you keep your ‘work’ zipped up around me, I don’t give a rat crap where you shove your show!”

The blame for all of this lies squarely on the shoulders of Billy Chrystal.

Without his portrayal of a Sodomite on Soap, in the Jimmy Carter 1970’s, we would never be in a place the Sodomites control the American Christian Airwaves.

Today, there are gays all over the TV, from most sitcoms and most movies and even on Fox News.

And that is only counting the Sodomites that are considered the “talent.”

How many TV shows, movies and news programs have Sodomites that work behind the scenes as cameramen, directors, costume designers, make-up artists and even best boys?

There is almost nothing we can watch that is not infected by the Sodomites.
