"Why 'Modern Family' Star Eric Stonestreet Refused A Photo With Rick Santorum" (Huffington Post)
The Huffington Post ^ | 7/23/14 | Ryan Buxton

Posted on 07/25/2014 2:18:51 PM PDT by Faith Presses On

There's no question that Emmy-winning sitcom "Modern Family" is influencing American cultural opinions on same-sex relationships through its characters Mitch and Cam, and that influence goes all the way up to the most powerful people on the planet.

. . .

"President Obama mentioned in an interview like three weeks ago, just casually, that Michelle and the kids watch Mitch and Cam and they're in tears," Stonestreet said. "To hear the leader of the free world, the president of the United States, say that and to know we have that sort of reach with people and that the people in power and leadership are watching the show [is incredible]."

But the fandom isn't always mutual. Stonestreet added that he loves attending the White House Correspondents Dinner because he gets to see politicians "for who they are," and he's often shocked at who approaches him. For instance:

"Rick Santorum wanted a picture with me. It was at a time when he was publicly saying, 'Gay marriage, gay marriage [is wrong],' and I'm like, 'You know, I can't do it,'" he said. "It was with him and his kids or something like that, and I said, 'I'd be happy to take a picture with the kids, but I can't just be in a picture with [Santorum.]'"

Yep, accidentally watched this show once, or as much as I could stand, anyway. Awful show no doubt conceived by raging liberals.

Stonestreet does come across as a snob who wants to rub shoulders with bigwigs,

Stonestreet is nothing but a funny homosexual, playing a homosexual on TV. Once he is no longer funny, he'll be nothing but an old homosexual.........

He's nothing but a homosexual tool being used by the left wing elitists.............

For all of the Santorum supporters on this Forum, here is proof that he is a joke.

I agree he’s a big jerk liberal, but actually he’s straight, not homosexual.

It’s also possible that Santorum made the move to confirm that this person would refuse him, assuming this story from the side of Eric Stonestreet is 100 percent true.

Very straight. Said he modeled the character after his mom.

The most important revelation in this story is that Stonestreet has previously admitted that he based his character on his mom. That’s the key to homosexual behavior.

Modern Family is working to “normalize” homosexuality. Remember Three’s Company?

There's no question that the producers of "Modern Family" intend the show to be queer propaganda.
