Homophobia: Alive & Well

[oberon]

Well this little gem was sent to my mother (who already has difficulty dealing with having a gay son) by a friend of her's. *I guess that I just have to remember that in some circles "hate" is a family value. *

Parental Warning: TV Land network to air gay show multiple times
Dear XXXXX,



According to Viacom, cable network TV Land is scheduled to run a one-hour celebratory program in honor of homosexual actors:



TV Land Gives A Wink To Gay America When Network Presents Inside TV Land: Tickled Pink. *Throughout this 60-minute journey, TV Land takes a look at how various characters and series became “homosensational.”



Produced for TV Land by Linda Ellerbee's (an outspoken advocate for lesbianism) Lucky Duck Productions, the 60-minute special will feature commentary from pro-homosexual actors and actresses. *Ellerbee, an outspoken journalist, author, and former NBC News Overnight co-anchor, has recently been the host of Nick News, a "kid's issues" TV program on Nickelodeon.



There is no doubt TV Land is leaving its family-friendly programming as demonstrated by the picture on the right. *This image was recently used in a TV Land ad placed in Advertising Age magazine.



To help protect children from homosexual activism, we offer this schedule as a guide for parents:



Inside TV Land: Tickled Pink
Wednesday, June 1 Premieres 11:00PM. - 12:00AM. ET/PT
A celebration of gay and lesbian culture on television is scheduled to air on TV Land on Wednesday, June 1st at 11 p.m. ET

P.S. Please forward this to your family and friends!

I suppose I should be thankful for this little message... it will help me to remember to watch TVLand.... and I think I'll send them a nice little email thanking them for running this program.

Thats just sad. Honestly reminds me of what my uncle is doing to my cousin- she's been racist and homophobic since she was 4. I try to talk to her but she doesnt want to listen. It disgusts me, as does this sort of thing.

I'm also gonna make a point to watch this and send them an e-mail as well... Oberon do you have an e-mail address you can post for me? Thanks.

Jaybee.

Its sad that in this day and age people are so narrow minded

Hey yeah! Thanks for the schedule, I'll make sure to tune in, as well!

People breed hate. My grandfather was a bigoted man who hated races other than his own and homosexuals. My brother and I learned more racial slur words from him than anyone! We joke about it now because we are not the type of people to talk or believe that.

He died of brain cancer two years ago (my grandfather). Coincidence or just an outlet for all that meaness? Wouldn't he love the fact that I have a black Godson whom I adore!

The only thing I have to say about people like that is that it's sad their minds are filled with so much hate and prejudice. It can't be a happy mind to have, you know? Feeling mean and bitter towards people all of the time? Wouldn't it be horrible to feel like that all of the time!

Well, what I ended up doing is going to the TVLand website TV Land and joining their message board. *There are a lot of posts about this under "Programming Suggestions". *

(Incidentially THEIR message board isn't nearly as easy and convenient *as this one...lol.)

[oberon]

I'm happy to hear that you guys plan on watching. *Thanks. *I hope it's a highly rated show. *

These anti-gay people are always talking about "family values" *and "family programming".... where the heck to they thing gay people come from?? *WE happen to be just as much a part of the family as anyone else. *Most of us love our families and would like to feel more welcome among them. Unfortunately, homophobia doesn't promote family togetherness... it rips them apart.

I thank TV Land for finally including us in the family.

[Rawbob]

Me likey TV Land!
