ABC has the highest amount with 10 out of 194, or 5.2 percent, of their regular characters identified as LGBT.

I hope they didn’t spend much on their study. Any TV watching fool could have told you that.

Television has become less an medium of entertainment and more a instrument of leftist indoctrination.

So about twice the percentage as in the real world population. I am honestly surprised it is that small of a multiplier.

When I was a kid Jews were the comics and Italians were the singers.

Now gays are the comics and Blacks are the singers.

Goebbels and Alinsky at work. Tel the lie repeatedly that the less than 1% fringe of homosexualism is normal. Push it hard into every aspect of mainstream culture. The lie becomes the truth.

exactly why there should be a conservative network.

Why isn’t there a basic cable conservative network? Is it not lucrative to promote right? Do people really want to pay more for garbage?

You don’t say! They needed a study to determine this?

According to the freaks in Hollyweird, it’s a gay, gay, gay, gay, world. They’re out of touch with reality, as usual.

I dont like any shows with gay characters simply because those characters add nothing it.

Gay men: Only there to act prissy, be a sassy companion to some loser female that cant deal with a straight man relationship, and to make jokes about having sex.

Lesbians: There to make out on screen so teen boys will watch.

And both are there to sell the gay lifestyle to kids.

For those of us who've lived through the entire gay standup-and-be-counted thing. Great. It's over. They've ALL stood up and been counted. Now sit down, shut up, and get to work like the rest of us. No special laws. No redefining anything. No special treatment. Get in line with the rest of us. We don't need to share our individual sexual peccadilloes in order to get along!

Perhaps this will finally encourage Hollywood to be more tolerant and supportive of gays in their industry, maybe even going so far as to hire openly gay entertainers.

I don’t know how anyone who’s not a faggy metrosexual can stomach anything on network-tv anymore. Limp-wristed, catty sarcasm permeates everything. It’s just embarrassing beyond words how American culture has devolved.

I prefer to grab up dvd’s of older shows like “Gunsmoke,” “The Untouchables,” “Have Gun Will Travel” and such, which were more reflective of a country that used to have grit. As opposed to a deviant sewer.
