In this day and age, young adults and tweens are influenced so much by what they see on tv. Disney Channel and Nickelodeon have shown young love on their shows for many years. They show 11 and 12 year olds flirting and wanting to have relationships. That's fine, tweens have crushes too. But all they've ever shown are straight characters, never openly gay ones. By not including gay characters, they're isolating an entire population of children, who look up to people they see on tv. It is shown that most children know by the time they're 4 years old who they're attracted to. Gay kids need a good role model on safe, appropriate channels, to show them that they're not alone, and it's perfectly normal to be feeling what they feel. I would like Disney Channel and Nickelodeon to have at least one main character who identifies as gay on one of their shows. This could save thousands of lives by showing kids they're not alone, and it's about time these networks show gay, as well as straight, relationships.
These people need to be called out for what they are. Pedophiles. Plain and simple. That’s what you call someone who sexualizes children. Don’t let your kids be preyed upon.
Dittos.
I think it is more about allowing anything than just homosexuals. allow any hedonistic act. infidelity, fetishes, drugs, etc. hollyweird performers by profession are to have no identity and with no identity they are in a constant loss of self.
(sarc.) The cynic in me (unfortunately, often very strong), says that since Tranna is often the cause of Liberal or NDP governments both federally and in Ontario, would this petition not mean that, if successful, most of Tranna should get reduced transit fares? Does that mean those in the hinterlands who visit Tranna, would pay more than full fare to subsidize the lefties in Tranna? (/sarc.)
Now, being serious, if you go directly to the link, Reduce Transit Fares for Individuals with an Intellectual Disability, the first comment, by a Mr. Rivers of Tranna, explains the source of many of the problems that Europe, Canada and the US suffer from, "It is a FUNDAMENTAL ENTITLEMENT"! While those with disabilities often receive very limited pensions, and I feel that they should get a break on transit fares to allow some independence and reduce taxpayer costs, I take offense to the many things that many in our society now feel "entitled" to! Reminds me of that line from Dire Straits' Money for Nothing!: "I want my MTV!"
At age 4, my kids were attracted to "The Lone Ranger" and "Hot Wheels Cars", respectively. Suppose I can get a grant to study them?
4 years old....jeez, I bet the publishers of this "study" don't have kids of their own. Or, they have an agenda. Or, both.
And that show is hilarious. "Where's Perry?"
Bingo. Kids should look up to their parents not some idiot on a screen. Shows that homosexuality warps the mind.
Nick and the Disney Channel were only watchable from the 80s to 1995. After that it became manufactured mush used to sell crap and push agendas.
Nick already had a show on their “Teen Nick” network with a teen lesbian.
Most everyone on Disney these days seems to be pretty gay.
But on Disney shows the children and tweens always have snappy sarcastic lines when talking to adults. One never hears a “yes sir” and rarely a “please” when asking for something.
The constant wisecracking comments directed toward parents is why I first locked out the Disney Channel. Now there are other reasons too.
“By not including gay characters, they’re isolating an entire population of children, who look up to people they see on tv.”
Yes, they do look up to people they see on tv, which is exactly why the fag lobby wants a fag character on every show, so that more kids will misguidedly look to them as role models.
“But yes, gays to realize that in order to be a stronger political force, they need more kids to choose to be gay. Because they all know it is a choice, not genetic.”
Gays found out the only way they can reproduce.
By either physical or mental molestation.
Even Baljeet is straight. Go figure. ;)
I’ve raised four children (two boys/two girls), and my oldest granddaughter. NONE of them showed any interest in the opposite sex until, at the earliest, 11 or 12 years of age. NONE of them exhibited any indications of sexual identity/persuasion, other than normal curiousity, before age 10. These loons who spew such crap about sexual orientation being fixed by age four need to be publically flogged.
Good points. My problem is that the gay characters are presented as the most noble, kind, funny and virtuous people on the set.
Thats right.
Show kids how to be homosexuals so that when they engage in a homosexual lifestyle they can cut 30 years off their lifespan.
once again, their timing is impeccable...and by impeccable I mean COMPLETELY PECCABLE!!!
Another example that there is no such thing as a “gay agenda” /s
Tune in to almost any show on any station and you’ll be assaulted by gays or the stoyline is gay related. If that’s not enough to turn the idiot box off, then try sitting through a 100 minute movie that commercials have stretched to 2 and a half hours. It’s no wonder why people are living happily tv free.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.
