One Million Moms is at it again. The group that previously lashed out at JC Penney for using gay comediennne Ellen DeGeneres as a spokeswoman is now upset about "The New Normal," the upcoming NBC sitcom about a single mom who agrees to be a surrogate mother for a gay couple, Zap2it reports.


OMM writes on their website: "To sum it up, this show is about a homosexual couple who hires a surrogate to have their baby ... NBC is using public airwaves to continue to subject families to the decay of morals and values, and the sanctity of marriage in attempting to redefine marriage. These things are harmful to our society, and this program is damaging to our culture."
OMM adds that they are ready to give sponsors of the program a hard time. "Millions of Americans strongly believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman. NBC's 'The New Normal' is attempting to desensitize America and our children. It is the opposite of how families are designed and created. You cannot recreate the biological wheel." Do you think "The New Normal" is "harmful to society"? Or perfectly harmless?

I am perfectly OK knowing their are gay people in this world, my uncle who I am close with is gay. I am not OK with libs and Holleywood jamming it down me and my kids freaking throats every second they can
Oh the gay thing? Yeah that's fine. Why wouldn't it be? But reality TV is out of control and needs to all but disappear.
There are tons of things on tv that I think are stupid or I think set a bad example...do I complain and try to get the stuff banned? Nope, I simply don't watch the shows. I think Jersey Shore is pure crap and encourages stupidity....but it's people's right to watch it and lose brain cells :)
I'm also just plain sick of people claiming that homosexuality is somehow harmful to the family....how does that even make sense?
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

This is the first I've heard of the show... I'll have to set it to record.
What will have a larger affect on society is homosexuality in mainstream music. Music is far more powerful than television. Although in the 90s I thought people turned gay, now I believe people are both born gay (low numbers) and it is a learned behavior (higher numbers).
There are amazing gay parents (like the ones in Modern Family) and there are tons of gay young students (like the few in Glee), so it's about time Hollywood stops pretending they don't exist.
Anyone who "chooses" homosexuality and wasn't born gay is not going to stick with homosexuality... you're going to go for what you're naturally attracted to... and experimentation is completely normal.
It's harmful to society to keep pretending like these families don't exist, or like there's something wrong with these families.
I think the role of the church is to preach abstinence and maybe the Catholics have it right, only engage in sex to procreate. Life would be soooo boring though... Thank God for forgiveness.
I find it interested that not all gay men engage in anal sex and, anal sex is only as common in gay male couples as it is in heterosexual relationships. So, it does seem a lot of people do see the sense in refraining from sodomy.
