Viacom is reportedly looking to launch a gay-themed television channel. They should save their money. They already own such a network. It's called MTV. It used to play videos. Now it promotes homosexuality and other hot-button causes.
Friday night it aired something called, "I Do, But I Can't," a heavy-handed documentary aiming to generate support for so-called gay marriage. MTV pointed out that although only 22% of the country supports marriage rights for gays, 55% of its viewers do. That's about as surprising as finding out that most people who watch BET support racial preferences.
The program engaged in such amateurish tricks as playing ominous music when proponents of traditional marriage were shown on the screen, and opting for a more upbeat soundtrack when proponents of homosexuality appeared. The documentary displayed the Emancipation Proclamation, the 19th Amendment, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the 26th Amendment in a succession that led to homosexual unions. Those events that spread democracy, this mental gymnastics suggests, preface the subversion of democracy that is taking place on behalf of gay "marriage."
The show's host, Jon Norris, appears about as straight as Freddie Mercury. "Clearly," he informed viewers, "the country is divided and confused." Maybe the nation's split about a lot of things, but not about gay marriage. They don't want it.
Both houses of Congress rejected it by overwhelming majorities. President Clinton signed a bill defining marriage as between a man and a woman, and President Bush seeks a Constitutional Amendment banning homosexual "marriages." Thirty-eight states passed similar Defense of Marriage Acts. No state legislature or referendum has made homosexual unions legal--at least the ones free from court duress--and a multitude of states have defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Where's the division? Where's the confusion?
The country is clearly united for retaining the tradition of marriage as a binary and mixed-sex union.
Did any one see the special on MTV about the midgets. It showed the plight of the "vertically challenged." Jack Osborn and Ozzy had a grand old time clowning around with the dwarfs they hired for a video shoot. MTV was appalled with this type of behavior, midgets are people too they claim. Which is a valid point, albeit very short people. What's next MTV presents "Discrimination of Conjoined Twins," staring Matt Damon and Greg Kinear.
give me one good reason why homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to be married.
just because people disagree with something doesn't mean it should be outlawed. take abortion for instance, millions march against it every year yet it's still legal. what's the difference between that and two men or two women who are in love being able to be treated like a man and woman who are in love? love will always be that simple, why shouldn't the union be too?
