Three major cable providers are buying into the launch of two new homosexual cable networks that will air homosexual programming around the clock for the first time in U.S. television history.
In April, Comcast and Cox Communications agreed to offer the homosexual network "Here," put out by Regent Entertainment through their video-on-demand offerings. Viacom will offer its own advertiser-supported homosexual network, "LOGO," as a basic cable channel starting on June 30.
"I don't think most parents want their children flipping channels on their way to the Cartoon Network and running across a scene of two men kissing in bed on the LOGO network," said American Family Association president Tim Wildmon. "Most of us have enough to explain to our children nowadays."
Wildmon also sees potential for late-night programming on the networks to turn pornographic in nature. "The very nature of homosexuality is based on eroticism and infatuation with sex," Wildmon said. "This programming will be targeted to a group of people who define themselves by their sexual behavior, and one can expect the gay networks to follow the trend in offensive late-night programming such as we saw with NYPD Blue, only in a more deviant homosexual context.
"The gay and lesbian networks are geared toward mainstream homosexuals who view sexuality and define pornography very differently from the majority of mainstream Americans."
The New York Times reported that Viacom's LOGO network already has access to 10 million homes and is supported in advertising by Orbitz, Subaru and Paramount Pictures.
"We will hold accountable companies who sponsor this type of offensive heavy-duty homosexual content," Wildmon said. "This type of programming invading cable reinforces the need for a la carte choices instead of forcing people to pay for a 24-hour homosexual network."
If it's an order on demand thing it's okay. Even if it isn't order on demand, there is a blocking function on cable so that you can block those channels.
Homosexual agenda
HB(L)O has basicly turned into the Homosexual network aleady. Much of their tripe is either extreme leftist or Homosexual and I've been debating cutting the service. If these two new channels show up on my system, the decision will be made for me.
Yeah, but a lot of people might object to paying for it, even if it's blocked. If it was on-demand, I doubt there would be much demand.
Just what kind of company would sponsor this kind of programming?
These networks are offensive to Islam, and they should feel the consequences.
You still pay for it.
Crisco.
Blocking? Sorry, I'm not going to support the cable company that puts this tripe on. I'll cut back as much as I can, to have just the bare essentials.
You know, the 70 to 90% of America who hates this stuff should just tell the cable companies to stuff it for a year or two. I think they just might come around.
Time to swap to the Dish.
Pottery Barn.
It can't be pornographic if it is basic cable. FCC regulates that.
Islam? Hell they're offensive to me. Who gives a fig about Islam?
Wildmon thinks everything is pornographic. He's a nut.
A gerbil breeder? :-)
I would call BET's late-night programming pornographic in nature.
Definitely, I could knock out several stations that way, including the MTV's etc.
Something tells me that Freud would have a field day with this. :-)
I believe the article said that Orbitz, Paramount, and Suburu are supporting Viacom's LOGO.
I'll never use Orbitz again and my new car won't be a Suburu after all.
