Yes, even ABC and NBC realize gay marriage is just wrong!

There is no such thing as gay “marriage”. Unions of any sort between two willing sodomites is anything but a marriage; it’s an abomination.

No, they thought they’d lose even more viewers if they showed it.

Is it possible networks are getting tired of giving the finger to everyday Americans?

Because they were afraid the lovely couple would choose to consummate it, right then and there?

FWIW there WAS a segment on either the national news or a magazine show that showed the two guys kissing on top of the float.

IIRC it was NBC but i'm not positive. Could have been CBS because Mrs p6 tends to have that on in the mornings.

We didn’t watch the Rose parade because we decided to pass on the Gaystapo’s “In Your Face, America!” moment.

viewed by more than 60 million people around the world

Were they afraid of al-Qaeda, Hamas, Iran's mullahs, etc.?

In this day in day and age the networks can get instant rating sample. They must have seen that the ratings were low and they decided to not show the wedding.

> “Multiple TV stations cut away from the float quickly or entirely during the Wednesday morning live broadcast,” the article stated. “Many took to Twitter to express their feelings about the decision.

And they would had have 90 + times the tweets and Facebook posts against it if they would have aired it. This is just speculation, but I’m willing to bet that the sponsors told them not to air it after the other past failed attempts at promoting sodomy and boycotts of other spnsors that have ensued the past year. Sorry to break it to them but the normal people will never accept homosexuality as normal. That doesn’t mean we’re going to be hurling stones at them. Hell I’d help a gay person if they needed food or ran out of gas. Just can’t stand the flamers and activists (which seem to be the same).

Yeah, I had some technical difficulties as well during that parade. My TV just wouldn’t turn to that channel. It was the darndest thing. I wonder what I missed.

They may just realize ...that its just not in THEIR best interests... to SHOW their contempt for Normal Americans.

I doubt theyve had a change of heart
