Let BRAVO Know What You THINK About Their Homosexual Agenda!

This morning I decided to let BRAVO have an earful. Here is my email:

"As a DirecTV subscriber, I am notifying you I am permanently blocking BRAVO from my menu on my DSS receiver.

Your push for homosexual-'friendly' programming demonstrates your pandering to an audience that exhibits behavior that is not only detrimental to their own health, but the health and safety of families everywhere. I refuse to risk allowing my children to see promo material on your channel, so I find it necessary to block BRAVO and will encourage others to do so. Your advertisers will no longer reach me or my family members, and I have let DirecTV know of our all too easy decision to block BRAVO.

You may consider a homosexual audience on worthy of pursuit, but families who treasure their own lifestyles think otherwise."

I encourage others to let both BRAVO and their cable/DSS companies know that you're blocking their agenda-pushing programming!

Sorry if this has been posted before, but it seems important, at least to me!

[Lunatic Fringe]

DirecTV runs promos for Bravo on all channels. Gonna block them all?

[Semper Paratus]

Straight talk for a queer channel.

[exile]

They do have an openly gay agenda, but that "Queer Eye" show is a riot.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Geez. Did anyone learn ANYTHING from "The Last Temptation of Christ"? The more of a fit you throw, the more people will tune in to see what the big deal is. When these shows get the low ratings that they will inevitably receive, the stations will cancel them. They count on controversy to attract viewers.

[CheezyD]

"Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" is a funny show. If you don't like it, don't watch it. I'm straight and don't feel threatened at all by shows like this. Why do you?

[Kieri]

I would if I could. I am, however, getting sick of being told "if you don't want to see it turn it off" when homosexuals refuse to do so. Email isn't as effective as a snail mail letter, but I feel obligated to say something. If I can make them question their pocketbook on the smallest of scales, all the better.

[arly]

I wish there was a way to cancel Bravo, I hate the thought that I am paying for the crap. but I guess it is stuck in a package.

[Kieri]

Do you have children?

War and terrorism are difficult enough to explain to kids. I'd rather not have to explain "Mom, why is that man kissing that other man?" I just hope I NEVER have to explain "Mom, why is that man kissing that boy?"

I saw parts of the episode that ran on NBC last week. It was ok. I wonder what a show called "Straight Eye for the Queer Guy" would be like.

Ha ha - that's right! Those happy funny queers sure are zany. Just keep laughing and before too long you'll no longer worry at all that the mean old Bible and most other religions of the world condemn such behavior. You'll soon forget that up until just a few years ago, such behavior was considered a mental disorder. And as far as those nagging fun-stopping stastics (like suicide rates among queers, disease carrying, and pedophilia) - just grab your popcorn and let it all go. Keep laughing and it will all go away.

Remember, normalization begins at home.

I still have cable. I support you in your protest. My daughter and her family have a dish. I know they block things that they do not want their children to see.

I am sick of the push for the acceptability of the gay lifestyle. I am not threatened by it. I just do not like the "in your face" mentality they display. I have known gays all my life, have friends who are gay, etc. My problem is not with them. They have made the decision to live as they do. My problem is with the strident "you have to agree with me, and accept what I say as the only way to be" message some are sending.

Will you feel the same way when you come home from work and see your five-year old son wearing a dress and kissing the neighbor boy?

It's already too late for the gays to recruit you, but they've got plenty of time to target your children. Remember, they can't reproduce, so they recruit!

My only advice is from John Prine...

"Blow up your TV throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own."

[HIDEK6]

I E-Mailed them the following:

Homosexuality revolts me. Why you would want to pander to a minority of the population, while repelling a majority of the population is puzzling. However, I learned long ago that it is pointless to attempt to manage someone else's business.

I have removed your channel from my cable service.

[AppyPappy]

Good move. Let Bravo know they are being boycotted.

[finnman69]

Hellllllllooooo. Ohhhhh thattthh Queeer Eye sssshhhoowww is sooooo fabbbulouussss.

I don't see what the fuss is. It's a pretty funny show actually and might be better than Trading Spaces.

[litehaus]

BRAVO is owned by NBC, no?

[Kieri]

Uh....is that a man, a woman, or one of the undecided?

[new cruelty]

Either that or they have some sort of contractual agreement.
