TV is watching you and telling you what to think.

They don't change bigots into saints?? Say what??

We're the victims and in our own home. Never watch the show. And there's no such thing as homophobia.

I remember being approached at the Y when I was 12. I quit the Y and joined a thespian group at the Museum.

The Hollywierd agenda has been at work for a long time. Every sitcomm has gays on it and it has had its impact. It is propaganda pure and simple.

Of course...if you know what you are looking at you can use it against them. I point out every piece of liberal propaganda I can find to my kids. Unfortunately, too many don't know what they are seeing.

[TexasFreeper2009]

This is no accident.

They have been purposely inserting a gay character into almost every TV show and most movies for 15 years or more.

Of course these characters are always portrayed in a positive light completely unlike how gays actually are in real life. So the average person who doesn't know any gays starts to think... hm.. I didn't know they were just like us... but just liked the same sex.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Gays live horrible lives filled with destructive behavior, depression, disease and death. Plus most that I have known personally are very petty and have a tendency to back stab others, and talk behind their back.

If gays were portrayed on TV like they actually are in real life their inclusion on many TV series wouldn't be helping their image.

Attitudes toward homosexuality started in the late 60’s TV programs and progressed along with socialism.

“Glee is just one of many popular shows on television right now that feature gay characters. Those characters aren't just entertaining us, they're changing Americans’ attitudes toward homosexuality. “

That is exactly why I do not watch the show..It hasn't changed any-ones attitude everyone I know still think the creeps are sick..

Here is a prediction:

Within the next 5 years, we will see a fictional character in one of these sh*t-coms or night time dramas who is a pedophile, however they will be portrayed sympathetically.

I can almost see the trailers "he loves children, even if a little too much, truly he loves them".

Hollyweird has but one goal, which is to completely and totally corrupt our society and culture.

No wonder I’m such a homophobe. I haven’t had TV since 1997.

[ilovesarah2012]

I am really getting tired of being called a bigot because I believe God’s word. And I will not watch shows that push homosexuality. The generation of teens these days have had homosexuality pushed on them as normal and something to be proud of in schools and in mass media. Most have not been taught the Bible. The homosexual agenda will soon have no resistance at all. I am almost ready to give up and just leave it to God, but I worry about His judgment on America. Of course, I believe part of His judgment was giving us Obama.

It’s a rare TV show or movie these days that doesn’t try to propagandize viewers. I don’t watch crap. Fortunately, that saves me a lot of time to spend on more rewarding pursuits, like reading articles on Free Republic.

[Sherman Logan]

There’s a more subtle factor involved here.

As do Tocqueville talked about almost 200 years ago, democratic societies are peculiarly vulnerable to peer pressure.

As he pointed out, democratic societies have the majority consensus as their only criterion of right and wrong. That’s why we spend so much time and effort polling. If 59% of Americans believe something, by definition it is right. (Or so goes the thought.)

What these shows do is gradually convince more Americans that most people approve of this behavior, and most Americans don’t have anything to base their beliefs on other than “what most people believe.” So their ideas change.

German television is horrible. One homosexual is my limit, more than that and I leave the room. Last summer my wife called Big Brother to vote out an “annoying homosexual” and won an iPad2.

[Dick Vomer]

That’s when glee was off the view list for my teenage kids. When gay characters come on they laugh now and I always point out that they’re just sick individuals with gender identity issues, poor impulse control and need psychiatric help.

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 !

Blaine declared his love for Kurt and then — they kissed.

His name is Blaine? That's a major appliance, that's not a name!

I am gross and perverted, I'm obsessed and deranged.
I have existed for years but very little has changed.
I'm the tool of the government and industry too
for I am destined to rule and regulate you.
I may be vile and pernicious but you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious with the things that I say
I'm the best you can get. Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozing out from your TV set.
You will obey me while I lead you
and eat the garbage that I feed you
until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help no one will heed you.
Your mind is totally controlled,
it has been stuffed into my mold.
And you will do as you are told
until the rights to you are sold

In five separate studies, professor Edward Schiappa and his colleagues at the University of Minnesota have found that the presence of gay characters on television programs decreases prejudices among viewers. "These attitude changes are not huge," he says. "They don't change bigots into saints. But they can snowball."

This article is from NPR.

Imagine how their core audience's heads would explode if this were reformulated to approvingly quote a professor whose thesis was that if NPR were to feature more Conservative commentary, and Conservative views were given favorable treatment in NPR broadcasts, it would decrease anti-Conservative prejudice and bigotry that currently run rampant within the NPR audience.

...and Glee was supposed to be the non-homosexual show that was supposed to make glee club cool.

instead they killed glee-club permanently.
