It's funny. If being homosexual is such a sin, why isn't it specifically mentioned in the Ten Commandments. According to them, its more sinful to lust after a married woman/man than to lust after a same sex partner.milojthatch wrote: I don't know maybe it's all the gay people I have known over the years who like to push their views of the World on everyone else! You know, that is just great that you think it's ok to be gay, but why do you insist on forcing me to see it that way as well? It is a sin. It was a sin a year ago. It was a sin a thousand years ago and it will still be a sin a million years from now. Regardless of how "tolerant" mankind is, that will never change what it is. Fair enough, I recognize that not all gays are promiscuous, but that traditionally is not the face that is being shown in society. And I'm not talking about how the "straight world" shows them to be, I'm talking about how the "gay world" advertises themselves to be.
I have a feeling the Gay people you know of happen to be more forceful and promiscuous because that's their personality. The fact that they have "come out" shows their self-belief and to a certain extent lack of inhibition. Let's not forget lots of straight "normal" couples are usually much more sexually expressive in public too than homosexual couples.
I suspect there's just as many Gays, if not more, who live a life or relative anonymity and monogamy.
However, as a percentage, I doubt Gays are any more promiscuous than straight people - and some straight males have an attitude towards women which totally offensive and much more insulting than what happens between, on the face of it two consenting partners who happen to be both male. Sexual abuse of females and even rape happens in the straight-world you know.I grew up in Los Angeles and have spent enough time in the West Hollywood and Hollywood area over the years and have know enough gays to know that the lifestyle is saturated in promiscuous behavior. You are more likely to run into a promiscuous gay man then not. This has been my personal experience growing up in Los Angeles. This is not to excuse the promiscuous behavior of straight people, it's also bad, but fact is, sex is closely tied to the gay lifestyle where as it is not to the straight lifestyle.
So, is it okay for America to buy formats for TV shows from other countries and remake them with an American cast and American sensibilities? Because that's only being done because the networks think a US audience won't be able to identify with a non-US cast/programme/culture.I am not saying that you personally are forcing your views and it is a very general statement, which fair enough isn't always fair. Plus I will admit that the use of the word "indoctrinate" will been seen in different lights depending on your views of the gay lifestyle.
Now that I got all the PC side bars out of the way, no, I don't think it is going too far to say it is an attack on childhood. If I didn't believe that, I never would have written it. But, don't worry, it's not just the gay lifestyle attacking childhood, that list is a rather long one and goes into many things.
Fact is, kids are not allowed to be kids anymore period. And I think that may be a big reason why society is slowly digressing. You are of course free to agree or disagree with me all you want, but the reality of life will speak for themselves.
Gay characters have no place in children's programing, PERIOD! I'm getting sick of how gays can sudden find gay characters in stories all along, more times then not it's really stretching it too. Seriously, just stop, these characters are not, nor have they ever been gay. You can read it seems into what ever you want to. Case in point, it was mentioned that Jafar was gay. If that was really so, he sure did enjoy that kiss from Jasmine a little too much for a gay man. I mean really guys, give it a break!
PC crap like this never helps, but rather shows how some people have more time on their hands then they seem to know what to do with!
Is it right that content is changed/created to appeal to one audience, but you seem totally closed to content being created to appeal to a minority of that audience.
If you look at history, even recent history, hatred has not only been introduced, but stoked by segregation of people of different backgrounds. And not only in the third world, but relatively modern Western countries too. Blacks separated from whites in America and South Africa. Roman Catholics separated from Anglicans in Northern Ireland. It was rounding up the Jewish and putting them in Ghettos that was the no-turning back point really for the Nazis in pre-war Germany.
We can stop physical separations, but mental and emotional separations still exist and will take years to disappear. They don't and won't disappear overnight. And that includes mental and emotional only separations, like those between people who are straight and gay.
I'm all for the media showing more gay characters. Guess what? They exist in real-life and they're not going away. By including them on TV and in film, you're making them more acceptable. And when they're acceptable, the hatred goes away. They don't have to be stereotypical, they don't have to be seen to be sexually active. Just a simple line like "my boyfriend" or "my girl friend" or a reply of "he's" or "she's" when inquired about their partner will do it.
As for Disney films, perhaps not. But there's loads of characters who could be gay - Cogsworth? Runt of the Litter? Ryan?
Talking of Ryan, isn't it ironic that the whole message of the High School Musicals is to be who you want to be or be who you know you are; be it a singer, dancer, cook, cello player or whatever, without worrying about being cool or what others will think of you. Surely that's an inspiration for young homosexuals? - and no sex required (not even the brief kissing between Gabrielle and Troy is required for that moral).
), that I think giving the reason of "it's wrong" is just a poor one. I'm not going to try to bring religion, but I just find it hard to understand why so many people find it "wrong." Just because I can find a man just as attractive and maybe even moreso than a woman I should be condemned for it? As long as it's a relationship between two consenting adults with mutual love and attraction for each other, then it should just be celebrated as a happy union. Because you simply can't comprehend it and find a member of your same sex attractive or romantically in love with them, don't codemn them simply because they found a love they want just as much as any other person.
Guess some people shouldn't ride Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain or the Indiana Jones Adventure. You're sure to turn queer on those!
