Does America need a homosexual TV network?
American Family Association email ^ | 4 Jun 2004 | American Family Association

Posted on 06/07/2004 9:23:22 AM PDT by plsjr

Dear Fellow American,

MTV, the network that brought us the infamous Super Bowl halftime show, has announced that they are beginning a cable TV network to push the homosexual lifestyle. The new network will be advertiser-supported and will be offered as part of the “basic” package by cable networks.

You will be forced to pay for it whether you want it or not.

The network is scheduled to begin operating next February. MTV plans to really promote the network. "We have big plans and hopes for LOGO (the new homosexual network)," said Tom Freston, CEO of MTV networks. MTV is owned by Viacom, which also owns CBS, Showtime, VH1, Comedy Central and TV Land.

The selection of LOGO as the name of the homosexual network is an apparent attempt to play on the Greek word "Logos" which is used in scripture (John 1:1-14) to identify Christ.

Will a TV network pushing the homosexual lifestyle be a good thing for America? Please give us your opinion by taking our poll.

We will provide results to the cable companies and potential advertisers. I suggest you call your local cable company and ask if they plan on adding LOGO to their basic package. The homosexual community is already asking their local cable companies to carry the channel.

Please forward this to your friends and family and ask them to vote.

Click Here to take the poll now!



Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon,
Founder and Chairman

If it will make money, then yes. The only vote that counts is the all mighty $$$. Looks like the votes are in for Err Amerika and the $$$ say 'Adios Amigos'. I'm sure the same outcome will be for the Gay network unless it becomes trendy to watch with the young folks. When I was in college all the greeks would invade the gay bars and drive the gays to another location, where the greeks just followed them till they (greeks) 'ruined' that bar for the gays. It is hard to tell how a network like this will do.

NO. The media already promote homosexuality and the destruction of the family on every show as it is.

I am already required to pay for ABC CBS NBC etc... just to get the 3 channels I watch on cable. Until the cable/satellite broadcasters allow us to pick only the channels we desire, we're going to be forced to subsidize garbage. FTR, I would gladly pay as much or more per month if I were allowed to select only the few channels I actually watch.

Jeez. Regular broadcast TV has enough homosexuality for anyone. 'Will & Grace', 'Queer Eye', 'Friends', almost every sitcom deals constantly with the subject.

Why not? Free country, put it on cable and have the sponsors and customer pay for it. That way everybody gets what they want. Heck MTV, and other alphabet networks already have "come out" of the closet.

it's just their way of shoving their agenda down our kids throat. The best defense is boycotting sponsors, networks and theme parks that offend you.

If the shareholders find that their product is hurt. then they'll self edit...... I just keep my kids from crap like that. Just turn of the tube. Kind of like what's happening to evening network news.

Exactly. It's getting to the point where we need a mainstream heterosexual, family oriented only network. I bet it would outdraw the other garbage 10 to 1, but would be derided as intolerant and offensive.

Need is irrelevant. Are there enough buyers who are willing to pay enough for a homosexual network, to make it profitable to run one? If the answer is yes, then it's going to happen.

You know, free markets and all that.

Nobody is forced to buy cable.

We already have at leaszt a couple of DOZEN!

abc,cbs,nbc,fox,nick,dis,hist,hgtv, etc etc etc

Notice on the "home & garden" shows that they are all "he & he", she & she", friends, partners, anything but real normal heterosexual married and moral couples?

we need to eliminate ALL these shows --- how? turn off the TV and disconnect your cable (except for internet)

You're right. Ever notice how most of the biggest money makers in the movies are family films? ( ET, Nemo, etc.) Yet they insist on making trash.
