There are a lot of christian shows that are very good on Netflix. They had that gay thing for years but if you look they are all 1 or 2 star shows really bad.
Over all I like netflix a lot

RedBox/Verizon has just started its beta test of streaming entertainment. (My husband works for RedBox.) We watched 2 movies over the weekend and found the download speed and quality to be great! Now they just need to add a LOT more content. Right now they have only uploaded 100 movies or so. But its a start!

Another take on your is that Netflix is quarantining gay movies. Which is better to unsuspectingly select a movie devoted to the gay lifestyle or to be warned to avoid such movies?

Amazon has the same category in its movie genre list. There are other smaller competitors that might be better - popcornflix, midnight pulp, crackle, and several “classic tv” lists.

I thank you for the links provided but they stink. They are not near as good as Netflix or Amazon. crackle.com has Netflix as one of their sponsors so really you are supporting Netflix indirectly anyway. Just keep Netflix and Amazon and just don’t go to the gay/lesbian section. If people don’t go to those areas, they will eventually get rid of them to make room for more popular areas.

I thought it was a good thing. Put that crap in it’s own category.

They’ve had it for years.

I’ve had Netflix for years and that category has always been there.

This is the exact reason that I dumped them.

Please be sure to let them know why you won’t have them anymore.

Yes, but Netflix is now such a PITA to browse through that you have to search pretty hard to find it. It also has some neat Military Channel stuff (although Dogfights is pretty jingoistic; there are aces who werent’t American or Israeli). They’ve also now have a Just for Kids section that will keep the little darlings away from the faggotry if they click on it (the Just for Kids section I mean).

I remember hearing someone say, “Being gay is what you do, not what you are.”

Makes sense to me.

That why I tend to prefer classic movies made during the Hays code era. There were certain rules and societal norms of the time which would’ve prevented a lot of that being shown.

Our primary use of Netflix is to watch excellent British television programs such as Top Gear, Dr. Who, old Agatha Christie stuff like Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, Cadfael, Foyle’s War, Rosemary and Thyme, etc.

American television is crap wrapped in garbage and coated with stupidity.

My experience with netflix is that the “categories” that you see are tied to what has been watched recently. Are you certain nothing has been ‘watched’ recently with homosexual content?

By the way, and of course this is your decision, you may want to re-think. Gay/Lesbian genre seems to be a legitimate subsection of film...there is a “gay” section in your local library and bookstores, but we don’t boycott them.

Just sayin’. BTW, I find sodomy a sin, too...but won’t stop watching or using a service just because they HAPPEN to carry materials related to them...I do not consider that an “endorsement”.

“Being gay is what you do, not what you are.”

That is correct. I'm amused when someone says "I am gay." It's like someone saying "I am arsonist."

I tossed my TV about four years ago when I saw the gay agenda openly promoted on Saturday morning kids TV, I also stopped supporting Hollywood or liberal media in any form...I don’t go to theatres or rent movies, either.

I get all the news from the Net and Youtube has more old movies than I’ll ever have time to watch. And I have no compunctions against illegal pirating/downloading of new movies over the net, I don’t do the downloading but I have friends who do; if a movie is just out today they’ll generally have a copy of it in three to five days. I don’t care if it’s illegal, if it hurts these socialist networks for a dollar I’m just too pleased to aid and abet.

I haven’t gone Galt but there isn’t one area of my life that the line hasn’t been drawn to the bone. Not one dime has this administration gotten from me, unless you count sales tax. And not a dam thing do I ask from them.

Better stay away from the public library too.... I don’t think you’d like Dewey Decimal section 778.92

Don’t dump them for that reason. Be happy they separate those movies out so you can avoid/ignore them.

Dump them because they are Obama loving progressives who give their political donations almost exclusively to Democrats!

I don’t think they should have their own category.

But they should have their own rating - instead of “PG” for example, “GP” for Gay Pride (Gay Propaganda?). Then you can ferret them out by rating.
