The short haired blonde homosexual woman on “Glee” seems to present herself as a rather conceited person on that show and off. (I’ll admit I’ve never watched it; so probably know very little and don’t want to know much about it. Just have seen commercials and previews.)

Klinger was not gay, just pretending to get a Section 8. He stopped wearing the dress in the last few years...and the irony is, that in the final episode, he was the one who actually wanted to stay behind in Korea.

Of course today, trying to get a Section 8 that way won’t work.

“OH! I just remembered MASH! with it’s cross dressing gay soldier.”

Klinger wasn’t gay.

I do remember though from the 70s an All in the Family episode where Edith befriends a tranny, who eventually is assaulted and killed, so as to try to gain sympathy for them.

jonathan Harris was married for 64 years and had a son. These days, though, I suppose someone with that track record could be gay.

Don't forget Billy Crystal in "SOAP"....

“How TV Brought Gay People Into Our Homes”

There’s a very easy way to prevent the tv from bringing things into our homes that we don’t want there.

It’s called the “off” button....

Or better yet, don’t even -have- a television.

This house has -one- working tv, downstairs. None at all upstairs. I spend most of my time upstairs... :)

well.. that’s how they get you... they insert something like cross dressing into a show in a non- threatening way.. so you get used to the idea.

It’s called the slippery slope.

And everyone who ever warned us about it has been proven right after enough time has passed.

I didn’t know that.Thanks for that info. I do think that his character, Dr. Zachary Smith, gave off a gay vibe, probably unintentionally.

First openly gay character on a primetime show was the Billy Crystal character on Soap.

My guess is that Harris wasn’t gay but was “secure” enough to play around with what he HAD to know was “that image.” He was the first to admit that his seemingly British pronunciation was an affectation (born in poverty in Brooklyn). Who knows?

Edward Schiappa and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota have found that the presence of gay characters on television programs decreases prejudices.

The same scam worked for liberalism,makes one wonder what other items are in the works?.

All I need to know about queers is what God did to Sodom and Gomorrah.

If God doesn't do the same to Hollywood, then he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

I had my suspicions about the guy from Comcast who installed my cable. This confirms them.

If everyone who recognizes sodomy for the vile perversion it truly is, would do ONE simple thing, all the time, in every situation, we could begin to turn this madness around : Refuse 'gay' They are homosexuals. They are sodomites. Refuse - personally and daily - to be a willing participant in the theft of our language and the co-opting of the political terms of engagement !

Post of the day! I would add the words pervert and queers to your list.
