Homosexual Group Measures TV Stations for Gayness: ABC and CW Lead in Pro-Gay Programming
By Peter J. Smith
LOS ANGELES, August 15, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A leading homosexual activist organization has released a report measuring the prevalence of favorable lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) material on major US television networks.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) issued its first GLAAD Network Responsibility Index to measure TV networks' "quantity, quality, and diversity" of homosexual propaganda shown during primetime programming.
According to the study, ABC leads the five major networks (ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, and NBC) in primetime programming hours containing either homosexual characters or the discussion of homosexuality. The report analyzes the incidence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) "impressions" in 4,693 hours of primetime from June 1, 2006 - May 31, 2007. Right behind ABC was CW - the merger of the now defunct WB and UPI networks - second at 12 percent, followed by CBS (9 percent), NBC (7 percent) and Fox (6 percent.)
GLAAD noted that network television has great power to change public attitudes toward homosexuality saying, "the power of the broadcast medium to shape culture and collective consciousness is indisputable." It cited the strides made by the homosexual agenda after comedian Ellen DeGeneres publicly announced her lesbianism ten years ago.
"This historic event not only shaped the future of LGBT representation on ABC, but on all of television," the report stated.
GLAAD rated ABC as "good," the CW, CBS and NBC got "fair", for how well they depicted homosexual representations. However, FOX got "failing" marks, with the homosexual organization saying it needed major improvement.

And what about Bravo and Lego?
Homosexuals are 2% of the population. Fox gets a score of 6% and is considered “failing”. Hmmmmmmm. Seems to me that homosexuals are over-represented in a big way.
ABC has that revolting “gay” teenage boy character in “Ugly Betty” which quickly turned my wife off the show last year.
ABC?
Should rename the network “Gay-B-C”.
I agree they are overrepresented.
Furthermore, I don’t know why the nets keep telling us that most gay people are funny and live hilarious lives.
Ummm....yes, I guess I do.
Disney all gay all the time.
I think that’s gAyBC now.
I wonder if they count the gay characters on the Simpsons....although they never really come out and say they are gay. Or, Quagmire on Family Guy. There is a repressed gay guy if I have ever seen one! //sarcasm off

I have this really radical idea. Everyone go back to the days when television's fictional programming was meant to entertain rather than to promote an agenda.
Why should I care what a chef's sexual orientation is when I'm watching a cooking show?
It is less than 1% silly, according to the Seattle Times.

All the more reason to leave my TV turned off except for my DVD collection and football and concerts.
What about the National Geographic channel? Seems something as weird and freakish should do well there.
OH, so the far left, the liberals and the libertarians have all been exactly WRONG.
What about all the name calling and pilloring of right wing conservatives who were saying this was the case when network programming took a severe turn to the left in the late nineteen sixties.
Sure, I know that social liberals knew they were waging a propaganda war all along. They knew perfectly well what they were doing, they knew they wanted to use Big Brother media tactics to unethically turn America on its head. It worked, this is one reason Hillary can run for political office. They have saturation-bombed the American population with immoral, anti-American, anti-Christian messages since they began to be the exclusive propaganda mouthpiece of the far left secular humanists.
It is not their subversive messages that are so disgusting, though they are definitely that. The most diabolical and hell-inspired deception is the shameless, win-at-all-costs LYING that these perverted ideologues have long participated in. A denial of reality so dishonest that any informed person who participated, would have to have been a sympathetic fellow traveler.
Why didn't these immoral deceivers admit they were using television, movies, news reporting and the Public Schools as liberal, secular humanistic change agents when they aggressively began this activity in the sixties?
Why will they occasionally let the truth slip out now? (its because their propaganda has worked, they created a culture that no longer has the moral courage to reject perversion, socialism and the dopehead movement. They no longer fear a backlash that would have come from the formerly moral culture.)
They have LIED not just a few times, but at all times and under all circumstances in their denial that they were using the television, movies, news media and Public Schools for delivering propaganda against the culture that was beloved by the huge majority of all americans since the country began.
Who was it who started the culture war against traditional America? Who repeats the lying Hollywood propaganda in the Public Schools?
Can you say, the same type of lying social reprobates whose goals, methods and lying denials some of us were pointing out forty some years ago. The same ones who, now that their intended damage is done, will occasionally admit they have been liars all along.
I see the inadvertant admissions of guilt, such as this one by GLADD, but where is the rollback. Where is the apology, the open admission of their blatant dishonesty and the repayment for the destruction of our conservative American culture stolen by these moral reprobates in their anti-American war, still waged using co-opted weaponry.
I about threw up with the ending of this week’s episode of “The Unit”.
Dead WWII soldier’s last love letter wasn’t to his wife....it was to his fellow soldier.....
BUMP
Gays love it when the wife gets a slap.
How about Hardballs with Chrissy Matthews
I turned off the cable 10 yrs ago and the only regret that I have is that I can’t watch the History channel.
