As long as they aren't Militant Atheists Homosexuals pushing their Dogma down peoples throats, then I wouldn't mind.

Dude, I have 12 very good friends. 6 are white, 3 are black and 3 are Hispanic. I know this because I only send out 12 Christmas cards each year to my best friends.

No it's not. 5% maximum just with men, 4% maximum including women.

Damn I didn't see "no homosexuals" listed.

Their presence is inappropriate for children; the increasing presence of homosexual characters is responsible for so many people deciding to live the homosexual lifestyle.

Especially for Shows aimed toward Youth. Gay Youth should have characters they can look up to and relate to. They're a part of society too. It's not fair to exclude them.

look up to?

reply
ZeldaFan13 to CAPISCE 2012/08/19 19:00:24

Yes. To give them someone who can show them a bright future and that it gets better. LGBT Teens are people too. And they don't deserve to be excluded from society. It's hard enough being a teen as it is. But to be a LGBT teen is even worse. Especially with all the bullying and discrimination that goes toward LGBT People.

Unfortunately, I have (on TV). That was close enough. Wife was mad because I hurled all the way to the bathroom. Stomach was empty by then. Felt bad for her...having to clean it up. (I wasn't going to touch it.)
I wonder if Barney Frank was in one and I wonder what he wore.

So its the media's job? Give me a break. Less than 5% if population is homosexual. 5% should be reflected on TV.

10-15% of the World Population is Openly LGBT... 2-4% of the USA is Openly LGBT... Your statistics are wrong. Plus, shows and movies are technically their own worlds and universes, etc... So even adding a Gay character to every show wouldn't be exaggerating it... I find it quite cruel that you don't think LGBT Youths should have characters they can relate to and look up to...

Having them there doesn't bother me but don't overdo it. Really don't need a gay character in every show that comes on TV. Promoting it is one thing, but pushing it too far will have negative results and may even result in lost ratings and advertising.

An appropriate proportion of actual population (7 - 8 out of a hundred people). So if you had a situation comedy or a drama with 10 recurring cast members, it would be reasonable for 1 of them to be gay. Unless of course the show is set in a gay community or something. I don't really care about the number so much as I care about the portrayal..

if they kept it OCCASIONAL it is alright and unique, but they have become very gratutuitous with it, they have become nothing more than "token" characters, and sorry, not everyone wants to watch gays all the time!

It WAS funny, like when they did it in "SOAP', and "In Living Color", but they went overkill with it. I think that point arrived when they decided to make Willow on "Buffy" a lesbian. They very non-discreetly showed them making out all the time, and that was just not necessary..i think most intelligent viewers can fill in the blanks!

You are either gay or you are not, TV will not make you gay. We have technology that can knock up lesbians anyway, we will be fine. If anything, we have too many people.
