Let BRAVO Know What You THINK About Their Homosexual Agenda!
07/29/03 | Kieri

Posted on 07/29/2003 6:25:52 AM PDT by Kieri

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!

Gee Luis -- I thought you were above stereo-typing?

I guess you'd be pretty P.O'ed if any Cubans were depicted as bearded Castro-like Commie-dirt-bags?

Looks like the tide is turning now that people are really starting to think about it and discuss it.

I hope so. Getting the truth out about homosexuality is key to turning the tide.

They are not trying to convert these guys. One was to impress his wife, one to impress his girlfriend, one to sell his artwork and date.

How is that conversion? They cleaned these guys up, cleaned their apartments, gave them a recipe for some good food, and filmed it. Oh the humanity.

If this was a show about how 4 gay men, try to turn a guy into their S&M slave I would genuinely see your point. Until then...

Now that is worth repeating and will come in handy sometime.

Homophobic rant?

I doubt if he is "afraid" of homosexuals. He is right on target with most of what he says. He never said he hated homosexuals. They happen to have a larger amount of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS and YES if you read Free Republic they DO have an agenda in the schools, there are plenty of threads stating so and give evidence, as well as the United Nations. And YES, many religions consider it a depraived act. I've never seen homosexuality in nature.

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.

Amen to that. Sounds like Hillary, too, come to think of it...

Wouldn't have time to do any one of those things by the time you were executed by the Church as a heretic.

That would be the same church that outlawed owning and reading the Bible - weren't they also involved in a civil war in the 1300s - at one time or another there were three Popes (two for sure)?

...I believe your story but it's still anecdotal. You can't draw general conclusions about all sodomites from just this one. Adulterers are always despicable sneaks, sodomite adulterers are just a little lower yet.

Not just a little lower, yet. More like the absolute worst.

But the point *I* was trying to make was that you can't generalize. I believe the politically correct homo-speak term is "butt-buddy". I'm not trying to draw general conclusions, just the opposite. This guy was a Haryley riding, hockey playing buggerer. He wanted my ass. Or, I guess, he wanted me to think his ass should be a fantastic target for my, uh, carnal desires. Greatest mistake he ever made in his life. (I hope, I'm working on it.) What I was trying to add to this thread was that it's wrong to generalize, or try to stereotype all gays as "swishy". Based on my experience with this dick-head, a lot of them are just the opposite, and really enjoy messing with a lot of "conservative", "traditional", "masculine" preconceptions. It's like the old Pogo cartoon, "we have met the enemy and they are us!"

Actually, I originally adressed this to both you and finnman69, but he never got back to me. [Too close to home, "conservative" buggerer?].

Boy Meets Boy was interesting to watch. It's not like their shoving the gay agenda down your throat. The gay "agenda" isn't even really discussed. It's just a stupid reality show. Gosh!

What behavior? They're not having sex on this show -- they're choosing clothes, cooking and redecorating apartments. What's to condemn?

If it were true that conservatives who don't consider homosexuality an issue are spineless and fold at the first sign of controversy, then we wouldn't always be here on these threads arguing with people who are brainwashed by the Falwell crowd.

(I don't really think you've been brainwashed, nor have I. I think we've both made rational decisions on this issue based on different assumptions, we happen to disagree, and one of us is probably wrong. And it shouldn't matter so much, because we probably agree on 90 percent of issues.)

I could care less about Boy Meets Boy-it's boring, and I find nothing about it interesting. Queer Eye for the Straight guy I find very entertaining. The guys on the show are very good in their areas of expertise regardless of their sexual orientation-Carson Kressly is the only catty/raunchy one on the show.

I know Bravo is selling the show with the title, but I would watch it even if Bravo's selling point wasn't their Queerness.

Thom Felicio, the interior decorator is certainly more creative than the guy on hgtv's Decorating Cents who makes stuff out of found objects.

I have read the bio's of the Fab 5, and they are all accomplished in their fields-I don't think that has anything to do with their gayness. I think it has to do with Bravo's marketing the show. And actually, if I hadn't heard about it on FR, I wouldn't have known about Queer Eye. I've never watched Bravo before, and I thought it was a premium channel. Imagine my surprise when I found out that I get Bravo on the tier. Imagine my surprise when I decided to check out the evil that is Queer Eye, and found it funny, and full of cooking/decorating/fashion tips.

There are no children in my house, btw.

Why block them? Let everyone get their belly-full of their miscreant agenda until they are ready to throw up!

Since the Supreme Court decision which appeared to support homosexuals, polls have indicated LESS tolerance for the gay agenda than poll results taken just two months earlier. Bill O'Reilly was right tonight as he pondered why this backlash. BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GETTING SICK OF THEM. Too much exposure to gays on tv, news, schools, etc., is having the opposite effect they want.

So, Bravo, bring it on...and watch American beg for the return of Ozzie and Harriet!

Queer eye is a dog-gone funny show.
When the blond guy said, "I'll need a lot of ritalin smoothies so I can concentrate on this disaster" I laughed so hard I thought I was gonna pee my pants.

Once again, I believe Homer Simpson has it right.

"I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my homosexuals FUH-LAMING!!!!!"

Read the studies. Gay folks are actually LESS likely to have pedophilic tendencies than straight folks.

Try reading them next time.

Since your love for porn has not waned

Condeming you for your porno “work” means GWB loves porn? Did you bump your head before you wrote that?

BOY…Talk about projection.

Regardless of human frailty, The Message was still virtuous...

F16Fighter BUMP

dogbyte12: So what exactly was wrong with their message. I'd guess you'd besmirch the "scared straight" program too you hypocrite.

So why do they need to qualify it as "queer"? You're correct.
Why can't this be about a bunch of strait guys giving advice on pleasing their woman? Most great artist and designers are very hetero. See, there is an assumption by this show that queers have more sense in fashion and social sense.It's insulting. Unless your a "fag hag" most women hate homos. Yeah, that's right. Unless you live in the frilly none reality world of the actor and/or art collector this portaytal is simply made for the 0.5% of the dysfunctional population. This show is totally for shock. If you want to dress for your woman you ask her or another woman not some fag!

Scared straight actually I appreciated their motives. It did lower crime rate slightly, but in the end the effect was marginal. I do not besmirch it in the least bit.

I do think that there are worse things than this tv show. The other bravo show, the gay dating one, I find vulgar and obscene, like the Joe Millionaire ones.

Have a nice evening.
