November 8, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - This week’s episode of Fox Television’s prime-time musical comedy show “Glee” featured two teenage couples, one heterosexual and one homosexual, engaging in sex for the first time.
Titled “The First Time,” the episode depicted two couples - a young man and woman, Finn and Rachel, and two young men, Kurt and Blaine - each losing their virginity. The development occurs after a fellow student and school play director tells Blaine and Rachel, who are practicing their roles as Tony and Maria for a production of West Side Story, that they won’t be believable as lovers onstage until they have sex.
A popular show nominated for twelve Primetime Emmys, Glee has also been nominated for best TV comedy series that promotes homosexuality by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

The Parents Television Council (PTC), which has given the show a “not recommended” rating for making sex “the show’s most provocative element,” slammed the televised sexual encounters - but explicitly stated that the homosexuality of one of the couples was not an issue.
“The fact that Glee intends to not only broadcast, but celebrate children having sex is reprehensible,” said PTC president Tim Winter. “The gender of the high school characters involved is irrelevant.”
Winter went on to note, “research proves that television is a teen sexual super peer that can, and likely will, influence a teen’s decision to become sexually active,” making Fox’s decision “gross recklessness.” PTC had urged members ahead of the show to write or call the network with their objections.

thanks you for that.
The future depends on well raised children. You’re doing you part!
Many sinful behaviors are mentioned, but sexual corruption is a key step in the chain of depravity and marks a critical transition. Here's the succession of events described in Romans 1:
God reveals the descent into evil. At some point he ceases striving to save and actually hardens the hearts of people, giving them over. They become "reprobate", rejected. According to Romans 1:26 God has rejected the sodomite.
I agree in the main. If there is a picky point of possible dispute in interpreting the events of the passage, it’s whether the “meanness” part must logically precede the “perverted” part, simply because Paul has chronicled them in that order. I think it many cases it does, as meanness can be learned or resolved upon as a young child while some degree of sexual maturity is needed before perversion appeals to somebody. IMHO, the devil likes the perversion because that’s such a mean thing to do to the image of God. Angels, bad or good, are not documented as being interested in sex for its own sake. And we must admit, we see a lot less frank idolatry in America than we do homosexuality.
I should say, whether the “meanness” part cannot logically precede the “perversion” part.
Just because some noted bible scholar has restated Paul in chronological fashion doesn’t mean that’s all that can be validly perceived about the events described in the passage. Evil is a full court parallel press, not a Von Neumann machine.
