The Real O'Neals Doesn't Mock Religion, Just Family Drama [Homosexual is 'normal' tv sitcom]
Seattle PI ^ | 1/9/16 | Malcolm Venable

Posted on 01/10/2016 2:32:53 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

When ABC first announced The Real O'Neals, about a gay teen coming out in a Catholic family, backlash from religious groups was swift and somewhat expected.

Given that the story is based on the life of Dan Savage - the gay author and sex columnist who's been somewhat gleefully confrontational with conservatives - and the family is in the midst of a divorce too, groups like the American Family Association could, in theory at least, rightfully believe the show was trying to shred the traditional values they hold dear. That couldn't be further from the truth.

Malcolm Venable appears to be wrong. Homosexuality was apparently very important to the people making this propaganda:

"It was important to me that they have someone who is gay and is out and is willing to be a spokesman for it," [said Noah Galvin, the homosexual actor playing the child].

Nothing wrong with coming out. Just announces the start of therapy to end this perversion.

Fagism is a mental disease so why is it not a health care disclosure violation to discuss it?

So coming out gay is bad but a Catholic couple getting a divorce is OK? Sorry but based on the story I can’t find a single redeeming feature in this so-called comedy. I’ll pass.

I don’t know why except most of that industry is run by and composed by demented individuals who try to make fagism a normal condition. Reality and how it is portrayed on TV and movies is widely different.

It would be interesting to see a TV show about a Muslim child “coming out.” I’m sure that will happen any day now...yup...any day now...

Didn't they just have an Irish Catholic family show where one of the sons was gay? The mom was the same gal who played Sheldon's mom on Big Bang Theory. It doesn't seem to have lasted very long. This one must be their second try.

We good luck with that.

The most powerful weapon you can us against propagandists is to simply ignore them.

Was it this show?

I found the show description using google. I don’t watch network TV at all anymore. It is just too gay.

Yeah, that’s it. I saw the first show because I like Sheldon’s mom but it sucked.

My theory is that at least 90% of the modern-day entertainment industry is comprised of perverts... a combination of homos, child-molesters, and similar sexual degenerates.

Slowly but surely, over the past few decades, people representing honor, morality, and decency, just naturally get squeezed out of the industry by the sickos who promote their own, and cultivate their twisted psychoses and dark worldviews.

It would be highly offensive to describe what homosexual men do to one another. Even lesbians find it disgusting.

You are absolutely correct. I did 2 runs on Broadway a few years ago. You explained it perfectly.

Dan Savage, the bioterrorist who licked doorknobs at the Gary Bauer campaign in an attempt to make them ill. Charming. I’m only surprised this isn’t on ABC Family, the most deviant channel on the air.

I saw an article last week about ABC creating a new show about King David, that will be like Game of Thrones.

Why do so many TV shows push homosexuality nowadays???

Homosexuals in the motion picture and tv industry have been waiting their chance for many decades. Although their numbers are tiny in the general population, they're a much higher pct. in the entertainment industry. Plus, there are many sympathetic non-homo people in the industry who are quite willing to aid and abet the homo agenda.

I guess they feel with the legalization of homo marriage in many states, the time is right to shove it the faces of the public at large.

So the general public, of whom the great majority don't care to have homosexuality shoved in their face, is subjected to this crap against their wishes. I simply choose to never watch the stuff. Hopefully, low ratings will kill this show as it's killed a few other tv ventures by the homo creeps.
