O.K. then, so what is your point?

I said there were Gay networks. There are. Just because they have low ratings doesn't mean that they don't exist.

I said that there were gay themed TV shows. There are. Discounting them doesn't make them go away.

I agree that placing specific wording into company standards is the company's choice....a choice between getting sued or not.

My point is, and originally was, that homosexuals have made great strides in gaining acceptance by riding the coat-tails of the civil-rights movement.

I don't remember this wide-spread acceptance of everything queer while growing up. It is accepted, promoted, and widely defended now.

So again, what's your point?

Am I paranoid? Am I wrong? Am I homophobic?

The point is that the homosexual agenda hasn't been accomplished. I discount the gay shows and their low ratings for the same reason that Freepers regularly point and laugh at the MSM's lagging circulation, ad revenues, and ratings: they are becoming irrelevant. Or in the case of Gay TV, they already are. So some media leftie decides to make a homosexual-themed TV show that nobody watches. Big deal, it's a free country. I don't, for example, take the existence of Daily Kos, DU, Moveon.org, and Michael Moore as signs of the apocalypse, because, like the Gay Media, they can't actually get anything done.

All image, no substance; all bark, no bite; all hat, no cattle; paper tiger. Pick your colloquialism.

Not discriminating against homosexuals in an employment context is fine. I'll take a more productive Big Gay Al over a less productive Chuck Norris any day of the week.

Just because people don't instantly hate any gay person they meet doesn't mean that the world is falling apart. Voters draw the line when it comes to making legal changes to accomodate homosexuals. Hell, not even the blue states could pull together enough votes to introduce gay marriage into law. It happened in Kennedy-and-Kerry land by judicial fiat, and there's a constitutional amendment in the works to overrule that decision.

So no, I'm not worried. Brokeback Mountain floundered at the box office. Queer Eye's popularity can be attributed to novelty and nothing more (that Carthon is thooo thilly!). I guess that makes me not-homophobic, because I don't fear gays. I can't tell you whether or not you are; I can tell you that any fear you may have of the gay agenda is unfounded because that agenda isn't going anywhere.
