FREEP this poll -- Is Nickelodeon's pro- homosexual show good for kids?

FREEP this poll on Nickelodeon's showing the pro-homosexual show last night. As with most vote.com polls, the lavender mafia has attacked this poll in force....so YES is winning.

I did watch the 30 minute show. The moderator, Linda Ellerby was obviously pro-homosexual. Even though both sides were represented by the children in the panel, all 3 adult guests (including Rosie O'Donnell) were homosexual, there were no adult guests that represented the opposing viewpoint.

This is pathetic.

In the interests of fair reporting, you have contributed to whatever statistics they use to support the worth of such programming. I not only chose to avoid the program but will avoid most of Nickelodeon's programs in the future.

Though I STRONGLY DISAGREE with the homosexual agenda, I did force myself to watch the show so I could accurately report what happened to my fellow freepers.

Had I been participating in a Neilson or other poll of TV habits last night, I would have purposely watched something else, to hurt their ratings. I agree...Nick went too far with this and we will not be watching them again.

Please take a quick second to use the link above to send a message to nick.com about your disapproval of this show. They may not care but we should NEVER allow them to say..."we only heard from a few people".

I'm afraid that just avoiding isn't enough, protests must be lodged.

It's not America, its the homo lobby. It seems they are hitting the poll big time.

Nickelodeon's Homosexual Catechism
By Scott Hogenson
CNSNews.com Executive Editor
June 19, 2002

Nickelodeon's June 18 special on homosexual parenting was not a sensitive
presentation on a delicate issue; it was a slick piece of cultural propaganda
designed to intimidate kids.

In airing the program, the nation's preeminent cable TV channel for children
has traded on its brand to provide a new avenue for advocacy of
homosexuality.

Aired without commercial interruption after rumors that advertisers didn't
want to touch this 30-minute teenage gabfest with a 10-foot pole, the show
went to considerable lengths to promote homosexuality and portray even
measured, rational disagreement with homosexual behavior as narrow
minded and hate-inspired.

The program was promoted as a 'news' show designed for youngsters, but
it was little more than a platform for often uninformed opinion from fewer
than a dozen teenagers; indoctrination; and the gay proselytizing of three
adult in-studio guests.

Void of factual information about the considerable documented health risks
associated with homosexual conduct, the program instead staked out a
'take no prisoners' approach to the subject: You either accept and agree
with homosexuality or you are guilty of hate.

Among the kids on the show were a few who noted their disagreement
with homosexuality based on religious grounds, along with a few
pre-packaged sound bites from Culture and Family Institute Senior Fellow
Peter LaBarbara and portions of a longer pre-recorded interview with Rev.
Jerry Falwell. But these program elements, doubtlessly included in the
name of 'balance,' were thin intellectual gruel compared with the
overwhelmingly liberal slant of the program.

The show's brief introduction was followed by a gauzy feature segment
about a kid being raised by two lesbians and the anxiety she experienced
as a result of the intolerance of some of her classmates.

The in-studio kids, three of whom were from households with one or more
homosexual parents, then proceeded to swap anecdotes and opinions
about homosexuality, alternately demonstrating both the wisdom and
naivete of youth.

A subsequent segment of the program delved into some of the reasons
many people don't agree with homosexuality, but the entirely gracious
remarks by LaBarbara and Falwell were stitched together with those of
hard-line homosexuality advocates.

After another round of teen perspective, including a brief discussion on
whether there may or may not be any substantive difference between being
raised by a mom and dad versus being raised by homosexuals, a third
pre-recorded segment was aired, this one equating homosexuality with
religion and race.

Ironically, when one child on the set expressed his reservations about
homosexuality on religious grounds, he was summarily dismissed as closed
minded by a girl raised by homosexuals. So much for tolerance.

Further evidence of the program's pre-determined intention was offered by
the closing credits, which acknowledged the cooperation of a smorgasbord
of some of the nation's most militant homosexuality advocacy groups,
including Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, the Gay,
Lesbian and Straight Education Network, and the Human Rights
Campaign.

Nickelodeon and supporters of the program it aired Tuesday night will beat
their breast about how the show offered a balanced, informed and
age-appropriate examination of an issue they say is important to kids.

In fact, Nickelodeon and the show's producers offered up a liberal
catechism for children designed to browbeat the next generation into further
paying homage to one of the most destructive behaviors on the face of the
Earth.

I noticed they had the little Muslim girl who was anti-gay... wonder what kind of picture they were trying to draw with that? We watched out of morbid curiosity the late version after our kids went to bed. We only got about ten minutes before our satellite signal was interrupted by a good T storm. What a relief. :-)

Poll Freeped and comments sent to Nick, but I really don't think either will do a bit of good. Queer-lovers have ingrained themselves so deeply into the fiber of our society, I'm afraid there's nothing that can be done about it. Crap like this is leading our nation to the brink of...?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I was under the impression that Jerry Falwell also appeared on the show. Am I mistaken or do you not consider him an adult? :)
