'Queer Eye' for the Straight Girl

NBC, home of "Will and Grace," is run and programmed by homosexuals.

Their reach is now as far as NBC extends. They bought a good channel like Bravo and redecorated it into a bath house.

Turn off NBC and write the sponsors, stating you will never buy their products due to NBC's pro-homosexual content.

BOYCOTT is the weapon of choice.

[I'm ALL Right!]

The person who is able to enter into debate with someone without personally attacking that person is definitely the more intelligent of the two.

what exactly is the bravo network? Is it just part of nbc? Do they show that garbage on regular nbc?

[Paved Paradise]

What is a "Metrosexual"? Who coined this term or phrase and when did it come into being. Anyone know?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I am a woman. Gay men do not know what I want.

[HostileTerritory]

They run movies with gay themes and gay issues the whole year through. In June, they ran two or three features every single night. Depending on how often you flipped past it and what happened to be on it could seem like Pride Year on Sundance.

[HostileTerritory]

Good luck. Honestly, this one publicity stunt has brought Bravo ten times the audience it has ever had in its history. I don't think they're going to be easily swayed by a boycott because they won't go back to the crap ratings they had before they went gay.

[thegreatbeast]

You caught my perception: all gay all the time. But it is the other stations too.

...what exactly is the bravo network? Is it just part of nbc?

NBC is getting some flack from its gay audience that they were too cowardly to place this show on the parent network.

Also the show did better than expected; and Max Robinson of TVGuide said today on the Howie Carr show, Bravo was the testing ground. Thus, there was a possibility, in his view, it could be moved to the network. However, I think NBC will play it 'safe' and leave it in the 'Bravo closet' right where it is. Earlier some affiliates had not been happy and complained about promoting a cable/satellite network show.

But, I'm definitely not an expert; and as Bozell authored in his 'Title', it reached a wider audience then the gay community.

Hang onto your heterosexual socks: Try 1%. Kinda makes this "Gay Fest" even more bizarre, doesn't it?

Brrr...I know. Eewww......

[kstewskis]

Gays are not 10 to 15 % of the population by any stretch of the imagination. That is a gay lie and popularly repeated propaganda message.

Thanks for clearing that one up. I have always tried to ignore them as much as possible, and now am at the point of constant annoyance by them.

When they spout the 10% rule lie over and over again, I of course, fell for it hook...line..and stinker. Trying not to put as much thought into the subject as I possible have to. But then again, that's how most liberals "believe" what they here. Even I got fooled, because I wasn't paying attention (never again!).

Even if it were the case (10%) that still (imho) is not a significant number to make such drastic changes in legislation, "cultural acceptance" and all the other bulldung that goes along with it. It should be looked at as a perverted, mental sexual illness, period. And if it's 1%, 3%, whatever....it needs to be treated as such. A mental illness.

What is a "Metrosexual"? Who coined this term or phrase and when did it come into being. Anyone know?

It is a phrase that has recently come across, to describe a type of male, who...is straight, but is fashion conscious, "image" conscious (i.e. spares no expense for facials, manicures, ect...), and particulary into vanity.

In short, doesn't like to get his hands dirty.

There are "feminine" qualities in him (a sensitive side) as well as straight, masculine sides. I believe there have been recent articles about the phenomenon, but I cannot recall specifics (read one a couple of weeks ago in the local Tribune).

A "metrosexual" is a regular "Oprah" kind of guy.

Livius, can you add to this?

Just in case you are interested on further sociological data on sexual matters...Here is the Univ. of Chicago study I referenced in my first post. This book is a dense, scholarly tome, but it is the definitive empirical study on sexual practices out there today. It's the "new Kinsey Report," if you will.

The authors also released another, more accesible book for popular consumption called Sex in America. It basically condenses and reprises the data from The Social Organization of Sexuality.

[bourbon]

I think this is the thread that started the whole "metrosexual" meme on FR. I hope this answers your questions, and I hope I'm not acting like a complete know-it-all pr!ck on this thread. :-)

[F16Fighter]

It's also -- surprise, surprise -- drenched in references to raw, perverted homosexual sex. In the premiere, the lads wonder whether stains are from "soy sauce or boy sauce"...

NAMBLA can't be far from getting their own sit-com on either NBC, Bravo, or any number of cable stations.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Kinsey was a closeted homosexual and has been discredited.

Gays make up less than 2 percent of the population, but they all have their own sitcom.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I just read that NBC is putting this crap on this Thursday at 9:30 pm following "Will & Grace," supposedly as a test run.

Boycott and write letters and e-mails to sponsors and NBC.

As Howard Beale wailed in NETWORK...

"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

[fight_truth_decay]

Well I guess Max Robinson was right and I was wrong. I didn't think it would happen this soon as they would draw the numbers to Bravo.

Thanks
