Yeah, well even PBS is not immune.

I'm not sure what you're watching, but Shelock has a lot of violence, and even Downton Abbey has taken a dark turn in the most recent season with brutal violence as well.

Edit: And I think it's great Modern Family has a gay couple on it as main characters instead of just as wacky neighbors. The men being idiots thing is only part of the show. The women are idiots too. It's a sitcom. They all act like clowns so you laugh at them.

I have friends and family members that are gay, and I don't hate them. My feeling is that when somebody's bedroom antics become a political statement I get tired of hearing it. When my nephews came home from school with pamphlets glorifying the gay life style. I went to school the next day to complain that kindergartners and first graders do not need to even know that there is such a thing as the gay life style. When I voiced my concerns to the Principle I was told that I was just uninformed and needed to become enlightened. I moved the boys to their Grandfather's place in Texas.
Gay people are a fact of life in Laguna Beach Ca. I had no problem with gays and had several gay employees, they were hard working and honest. My biggest problem with the gay agenda is that they seem to have a sense of entitlement.
I choose not to watch shows that glorify the gay life style, and I do not support gay marriage for religious reasons (but that is a topic for another time.)
I know that I am a bigot, and will probably be hated I'm sorry but I will not change my mind.

So they can grow up to beat gay men to death because they're big bad texans, hiding their "faggotry" because their uncle will whack their penis if they show even a little sign of sensitivity or compassion.

I mean it's good you disconnected cable, because basic cable is all about the homos. ESPN, for example. Ever watch college football? 22 college-age, virile, succulent asses on the screen and sometimes they even bend over. On purpose.

If someone knows they're a bigot, and refuses to change, is that better or worse than bigots who mange to convince themselves that they're not bigots?

And they slap each other on the ass, too!

It's not just coincidence that women are not allowed in the locker room...

Please take this shit to a more appropriate thread so I can more easily avoid it.

TIA:D

Their mother who came back into their lives soon after they moved to Texas would have never allowed them to belittle or get violent with anybody, gay, straight, or in between.
Now who is the bigot.
John my youngest nephew is gay and married to his partner.

where is this entitled plane flying?

Cupertino, Calif?

"My family member/best friend is..." is a poor defense of bigotry in the best of circumstances, but "my nephew is gay married" really has no weight after you shipped your nephews (not sure if this nephew is one of those nephews) across state lines to keep them from seeing any references to gay people, and you explicitly say you don't support gay marriage.

Presumably, you knew your nephew was in a same-sex marriage when you posted that you opposed gay marriage. Is it OK for him, but not anyone else? Or were you presenting your bona fides on opposing gay marriage even though your own nephew is in one?

Also, I don't support Spexxvet's implication that you would train them to be violently homophobic, but your response is that their mother shortly took custody back, and she wouldn't do that...
Yeah, you didn't do yourself any favors on that question.

Actually I knew that he is gay for about 10 years, and married for 3 years. He got married in Hawaii I think. BTW he lives in Texas. My brother who lives in the same small town in Texas he grew up in is now called Karen. He/She does not feel entitled to anything, he works, and takes care of his house, and has a good life.

Is it your transgender brother who doesn't feel entitled, or your married gay nephew? What is it that they don't feel entitled to? Marriage? Being non-closeted? Being able to go out in public as Karen? Not having children whisked away if they enter a room?
