Gay T.V. Channel?

Now the homosexuals want their own television station. This was reported on Cannity and Holmes. Why won't they understand they are not a minority. Why do they deserve special rights? Fortunately this would be a pay station, so I wouldn't advise a boycott, but I get so sick of liberalistic points of view being shoved down my throat.

[Dimensio]

Why won't they understand they are not a minority?

Uh, are you suggesting that the majority of the human population is homosexual?

[Tigercap]

Uh, are you suggesting that the majority of the human population is homosexual? lol. I think he's saying that whatever queer, personal choice you make about where you stick your penis has nothing to do with "minority status"

[Bonaparte]

They will say, "well, if porno-pay can be broadcast, why not us?" But we all know it's just the first of many incremental shoes dropping.

[Tigercap]

It's the "hip" thing.
But think about it...
sick and wrong.

[Dimensio]

They will say, "well, if porno-pay can be broadcast, why not us?" But we all know it's just the first of many incremental shoes dropping.

I don't see it as an incremental anything. I don't think that it will be successful enough to merit copycats -- most homosexuals don't really think of their sexual orientation as life-defining enough to watch a channel dedicated to it.

[hole_n_one]

........but I get so sick of liberalistic points of view being shoved down my throat.

Way too easy.

[Lurker]

So don't watch it.

[Arthur McGowan]

As long as heterosexuals embrace contraception, they have no rational moral objection to anything that homosexuals do with one another sexually--and therefore no rational objection to anything that homosexuals do culturally. Heterosexuals who use contraception may find homosexuals' choice of sex partner uninteresting or even disgusting, but since contraception is face-to-face sodomy, no one who uses it has any basis to object to someone else's kind of sodomy.

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Pay tv will doom it.

[PoorMuttly]

One more reason to do as I do, and never, ever plug your television set in. I find a 100% improvement in the quality of programming that way. Amazing how entertaining having linear thoughts of your own can be.

[poet]

"points of view being shoved down my throat"
Would you like to re-phrase that? LOL

[Paul Atreides]

They will have a devil of a time finding staff who will live long enough to work there, not to mention watch the channel.

[Objective Reality]

contraception is face-to-face sodomy

What?

So your definition of "sodomy" is intercourse for purposes other than procreation?

God as my witness, I have no idea what scriptural basis the Catholic Church has for the anti-contraception doctrine.

[notaliberal]

You are one sick puppy!

[ArcLight]

Yo, McCoy, here's a tip: Turn the bloody thing off and shut up about it!

[zadok]

They get this doctrine from an incorrect interpretation of Genesis 38.

"8": And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.

"9": And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

"10": And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.

[outpost44]

Can you imagine what the programming and sponsors list might look like? 1. Janet Reno as "Judge Janet" 2. Ellen Degenerate as herself 3. Sponsored by "Lays Potato Chips when you're just feeling thilly" 4. Hillary would be program director, of course!

[Revolting cat!]

You can't stop it! The demographics are there and so are the advertisers. Back door manufacturers, Tijuana miracle AIDS cure pharmaceuticals, wrist strenghtening gizmo makers, fudge manufacturers and Judy Garland's record label are all lined up to buy commercials on the channel.

[hove]

If the homos get their own channel, you wouldn't watch it....would you? I didn't think so.....

[Jolly Green]

Since Showtime & MTV are sponsoring this, I intend to cancel my Showtime channels ASAP. Let them eat cake.

[Bonaparte]

I doubt the idea is to get homos to watch it. It's about getting another foot in mainstream America's door. And they don't have to show a profit, either. They'll get outside funding until they've accomplished their purpose -- which ultimately is to get a homo-themed prime-timer on one of the networks, probably ABC, or on major cable.

[arly]

This could be a blessing !.. does this mean that the alphabet networks will quit trying to shove the sodomites agenda at us !... move the sodomites to a pay station and asta la vista!...

Not a chance. Too many liberals and homos working at the networks and entertainment industry. If anything, the networks will want to compete with pay-for-queer tv. In fact, the homos will feel even more empowered and justified after their queer station goes on the air. And they will continue to demand more representation on prime-time, network tv, as well as in every other area of life.

[mn12]

Why do they deserve special rights?

If you're talking about hate/thought crime laws and other such nonsense, I absolutely, totally agree with you.

HOWEVER, I fail to see how a gay TV channel would be establishing "special rights" for gays. My local cable company carries a golf channel. Does that mean that golfers have special rights of some sort? Heck, with enough money, any of us can start our own TV channel. It's part of the free market.

[spindoctor]

Other likely advertisers would include:

Preparation H
Strap-On Tools

[Bill Jones for GOV]

Is the channel going to show the ravages of AIDS? Even one of the lead homosexual militants, Andrew Sullivan, has admitted that his lifestyle choice and promiscuous behavior led to him contracting AIDS. He now has to take a slew of expensive medicines just to remain alive. And he is considered one of the more 'conservative' homosexuals. I just think the queer channel needs to show the consequences of their unhealthy practices.

[A CA Guy]

Yuck, sick!

[seeker41]

Someone who makes sense. I know some "republican" gays who are not defined by their bedroom activities. I know this is shocking to some, but true. There are radicals who push agendas in all stripes, but they are the most vocal, not the silent majority who carry on daily life just like the rest of us.

[Jhoffa_]

Why won't they understand they are not a minority. Why do they deserve special rights?

They are clearly a minority and NO, they do not deserve "special" right's

The other minorities want to be treated fairly because of the skin color and so on and so forth. This is understandable and it's fair. You have no choice with regard to race and they deserve equal treatment.

Queers however have made a decision and not only do they wish to be free to be deviants, they wish to impose their morality (boy.. It sure feels good to use that term for once) on others.

Theirs is a choice.. That's the difference.

[philman_36]

They can call it BTV.
Buggerers Television.
I hope they go belly-up.
Or would that be belly-down? LOL

[Bill Jones for GOV]

I know some "republican" gays who are not defined by their bedroom activities

Name a single straight person who IS defined by their bedroom activities? Bush and Cheney don't talk about their sex lives or their orientation or their 'lovers'. Why do homosexuals have to always lead with sexually explicit garbage?

[BARGE]

Only biological mistakes will watch biological mistakes.

[Dimensio]

Name a single straight person who IS defined by their bedroom activities?

Bill Clinton?
Okay, that's more like "office activities", but it amounts to the same thing.

Bush and Cheney don't talk about their sex lives or their orientation or their 'lovers'. Why do homosexuals have to always lead with sexually explicit garbage?

Well Bush and Cheney have been seen in public with their opposite-sex spouses. Would a homosexual man seen in public in the presence of his lover be considered "sexually explicit garbage"?

The point is that most homosexuals don't define themselves by bedroom activities, and that's why this channel will probably fail.

[Arthur McGowan]

What is the Scriptural Basis for the idea that every idea must have a Scriptural Basis?

[Arthur McGowan]

Okay, I'm sick.

So, what is YOUR rational, moral argument that homosexual acts are wrong?

[GSWarrior]

Don't worry. It will be around six months, a year tops. When it folds, the homosexual activists will put forth some ridulous charge of media bias. Remember 'Ellen' show and how she claimed that ABC had it in for her, when in reality no one was watching.

[GSWarrior]

ridulous = ridiculous

[Revolting cat!]

And what about these as advertisers:

Fruit packers,
Petroleum jelly manufacturers.

Oh no, give up fighting this project - the almighty OPEC is behind it (pun intended.)

[Objective Reality]

What is the Scriptural Basis for the idea that every idea must have a Scriptural Basis?

So, is that an admission that you just made your "nonprocreative sex = sodomy" equation up out of wholecloth? Ok then - thanks.

In response to your question:

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book

and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.

- Rev 18 - 21

Or, as I interpret it, don't go adding things with no Scriptural basis to your theology and calling it "Christianity." Ascribing deitistic ("immaculate conception") attributes to Mary would be doing just that, as much so as would be adding the fraudulent "lost teachings of Jesus" (detailing his supposed years as a Buddhist) to the Bible.

Until the reformation, one would be burned at the stake for possessing a Bible. That kind of brute-force indoctrination, over centuries, is the only reason non-Scriptural "Christian" theology still exists.

[kingpawn]

Hate crime laws are not special rights for gays or anyone else. They add extra penalties because the attackers showed (by their words, the greater level of violence, etc.) that they had a PRE-EXISTING hatred of their victims. Someone going out and randomly vandalizing houses is NOT the same as someone who, then finding the occupants to be (pick one): black, Jewish, gay, handicapped, or some other group other than "white/healthy/straight" respond with slurs, swastikas, more frenzied violence, and so on. Extra penalties here are no different from adding extra prison time on when someone is injured by a gun during a robbery as opposed to the robber just flashing it in view to prove he's armed. Also, as far as another person's raising the issue of "being gay is a choice" I challenge anyone believing this to tell when they CHOSE to be straight, or whatever their orientation is. It can't be done because it didn't happen. No one chooses their orientation any more than they do their racial heritage. Even if it was choosable, explain why someone would opt for a way of life that puts you at greater risk for assault, property destruction, or death, when not connected to law enforcement or the military, to name a couple of fields. And to any repliers, if you're going to say "a greater fear of AIDS" straioghts get it too. Last I heard, the fastest rates of increase were occuring in het single twenties women. It is not, and never has been, a solely "gay" disease.
