I am continually OFFENDED that gays are put in the same minority context with blacks and hispanics. And I am neither black nor hispanic.

Exactly what I think everytime I hear GAYS complaining about acceptance!! They are not a new "race" of people, they are a sexual perversion for petes sake!

"I know, I know...."get a life". :o)

I don't have much of one myself. I work, play on my computer, go to the library and that's pretty much it. The parentals are now in hysterics since I missed the payment due date on my college courses. However, I'll live I'm sure. :)

The label, Music with a Twist, is a joint venture with Wilderness Media & Entertainment, the company led by Matt Farber, who has founded MTV's new gay and lesbian channel LOGO.

I was wondering about that channel. It popped up one night as I was scanning what was on.

After seeing the content I blocked it. No problem anymore...

Darn!! Why do you do this to me?!!! I was just about to purchase a sony plasma flat screen HDTV. What ever am I to do Now?

Check out the tech and products reviews on Newegg.com.

HD DLP is one of the best qualities and values you can buy these days. I've got a JVC HD-55Z585 from over a year ago and I still haven't seen much to compete with it.

In addition, we now use a Samsung HD-DVD 850 which enhances DVD images. Beautiful combo. You wouldn't even need HD channels if you watch mostly DVDs. Far better than going to the theatre. My wife just loves it - enough to master the remote controls.

Yeah, like the gays don't already have gay or gay-friendly artists like Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minelli, Bette Midler, Cher, the Village People, George Michael, Elton John...

Michael Jackson, Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, etc...

Are they going to also going to feature AIDS friendly artists like Freddy Mercury, Liberace and Rock Hudson?

Sony Music Launches “Gay” Label

By Terry Vanderheyden

LOS ANGELES, January 11, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Sony Music has launched a label geared to homosexuals.

Called Music with a Twist, Sony’s new label is a joint project with Wilderness Media & Entertainment – the founders of MTV’s homosexual channel, LOGO. Wilderness CEO Matt Farber called the venture “An idea whose time has come,” adding that “only now are media and entertainment brands being created for the gay and lesbian audience following the success of brands for other minorities,” according to a Reuters report.

The label aims to release music targeting the homosexual community with music that is popular with the group, as well as nurture budding homosexual musicians.

Wilderness Media also announced plans this week for a homosexual radio show to debut on FM and internet radio, called “Twist.”

On top of its homosexual advocacy, Sony has a history of pro-abortion support. According to Interim writer Tony Gosgnach, “Sony Music stirred up controversy during the 1996 Christmas season when it released the recordings O Come All Ye Faithful and Just Say Noel, which were described as alternative Christmas music designed to raise money for the pro-abortion organizations Rock for Choice, the Feminist Majority Foundation, and Planned Parenthood.”

“The controversy continued into the 1997 Christmas season, when Sony was poised to distribute O Come All Ye Faithful again,” Gosgnach explained. “That development prompted the Roman Catholic archbishop of Boston, Cardinal Bernard Law, to write the president of Sony, calling the distribution of such a recording during one of Christianity's foremost feasts ‘appalling.’”

Among other things, Rock for Choice supports the repeal of U.S. laws requiring parental consent for teen abortions, and they oppose restrictions on federal funding of abortion. The group also supports “massive pro-choice community organizing.” It describes legal abortion as “the most spiritual of gifts.”
