The problem isn't primarily that these people want to hurt children or that they are indifferent to the effect of these situations on children. The problem is that they believe that it would be healthy for all children if more children were raised by affluent single moms, homosexual singles, or homosexual couples. They believe that any negative outcome of these situations comes only from society's disapproval of them and that these situations would be perfectly healthy as long as society approved.
With this premise, they feel justified in attacking anyone who questions whether these situations are healthy for the individual children or for society. Under their premise, the situation isn't hurting the child but instead the disapproval of the situation by society. If they can destroy the criticism by destroying those who are criticizing, then they have saved the children. For all of their prattle about a need for diversity, their belief system by its nature cannot tolerate any diversity of thought.
The question becomes how to persuade the average person that these people are wrong. The true believers in these stupid ideas are probably beyond hope. They are unlikely to change. The battle must be to show the average person that these situations are inherently unhealthy and to give the average person the courage to say that these situations are unhealthy.

What do you think they are going to do with this character, keep him hidden? When you figure out what just happened to you and why, perhaps you can consult the tv guide for other shows in the time slot. Perhaps PAX or the Trinity Network.
Well, with the exception of "Enterprise."
Of course, but this is the first time they have pushed the child issue. I don't mind a gay character, they can be quite funny. Just because a program has a gay character in it does not make ne not like it. It is the propaganda, which Spin City has been, up until now, not too pushy with, except for an episode or 2.
How bout, there not be a child to begin with? They haven't created a child yet.
Geez, man.
But it pays the bills.
When we seek answers on TV we are truly lost. Bring on the luddites!
