    How is reflecting reality (that families headed by same-sex couples EXIST) bringing sexuality into a children's show any more than portraying opposite sex families is? They aren't showing them having sex FFS.

    Further proof that in the homophobic mind anything to do with gay people or their families is about sex.

    Saying its wrongs and then saying that the gays push boundaries and thus egg on and ask for this kind of treatment...is in essence justifying it.

    Either its wrong or its justified. You can't make both statements at the same time and save face.

    Exactly. What don't these people get?

    Portraying a realistic gay couple having a family is not pushing an agenda. Its reality.

    I'm pretty sure the video is staged. Anyways, calling a person with autism mentally challenged is pretty offensive, and linking to a site that treats it as an illness to be cured doesn't help.

    To stay on topic, I believe the anonymity of the internet has bred this type of behavior. Of course people think this way, even about children that young, but the anonymity of the internet gives them an outlet where they feel comfortable saying it without repercussions. I hope they find out who did it, and prosecute him to the fullest extent.

    You can call them special if you want. They face alot of challenges. My wife has been working with Autistic kids for years. SIB is pretty common which is why i pointed it out. Disgusting that someone would call it a "nerd fit" with no idea if that kid is disabled in any way.

    Meh. I don't think either of you meant to be offensive in any way. As for the challenges, if you've met one person with autism you've met one person with autism. Believe me. I live it. :wink:

    The Republican party has a history of being against civil rights and gay rights. This fact continues to hurt them in the polls.

    Even progs in Europe know better than to allow open borders, why can't progs here figure that out?

    You should read a history book sometime, who made the Klan? Who opposed the Civil Rights Act? Ignorance is bliss, but it still makes you look like a fool...

    Did it ever occur to you that you are barking up the wrong tree with that accusation? I find your "selective" outrage over items on this forum to be very telling on your character. But that's nothing new considering the fact that I'm not the first one to notice character flaw on this forum.

    For the record, where do you see me laughing? Grow up.

    Shame that you have to go back so many decades to find anything that GOP has done that is minority-friendly.

    Democrats have been fighting for the rights of minorities since before neoconservativism tried to marginalize them even more. It continues with immigration reform, same-sex marriage, the rights of women, and many other ground-breaking social issues that the Democrats will go down in history for.

    Have you seen the numbers of black unemployment? Have you seen that 5 years after signing the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act that women still make less? You guys are doing a bang up job...

    Either way, the history of hatred in the Democratic Party doesn't disappear, its there in all its grandeur for anyone to see...

    Fooling the American voters into believing that won't be so easy. Minorities know who is proposing bills and who is voting for and against them.

    The hateful anger from the right will be their doom. Minorites are a huge voting bloc and there is absolutely no legislation that a Republican can point to that helps minorities - be they women, immigrants, gays or any other minority.

    No, the gay activists likely behind the threats remain free....and bummed out that they failed to create the "firestorm" they tried to.

    I remember that clip from a while ago. Hilarious! I think conservatives have a similar reaction whenever a TV show has homosexual characters that are reflective of actual people and not a stereotype.

    Conservatives all. Liberals were the ones fighting racism, like SNCC and SDS. That's Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee and Students for a Democratic Society, for those who don't know. There have always been both cons and libs in both parties but the ones who fight racism are liberals. Conservatives are always the ones who claim racism doesn't exist any more or claim the other side are "the REAL racists" as if that is any kind of intelligent argument in a debate.

    The man who broke the Democrat filibuster of the Civil Rights Act by ROBERT BYRD, AL GORE, Sr.,and John Connoly, was Sen.Everett Dirksen (R.-Il.), who was NO LIBERAL, by any means.

    A greater % of Republicans voted for the CRA than did Dems, no matter HOW you try to spin it.

    Therein lies the insanity of the bigoted, homophobic mind.

    Threaten the life of an innocent 5 year old girl for something she had no control over.

    Therein lies the insanity of the radical gay agenda.

    Claim that "death threats" were made, without a shred of proof,and claim it was an "attack on gays", also without a shred of proof.

    IOW = yet, another, "Oh they're ATTACKING US!!" gay hoax, in a desperate attempt to generate ratings for a soon-to-be-cancelled show no one watches in the first place.

    a. Are you saying the threats aren't real? Then why are the police investigating them?

    b. No proof? Again, why are the police investigating them?

    c. "attack on gays"??? No, they're an attack on an innocent girl. But I guess you support it, huh? You know, because she's the star on a show that introduced two gay characters, so of course it has to be her fault!

    d. The show was cancelled long before this. It's final episode is this month.

    Which also means shooting ended months and months ago, so why are you homophobic *********s ranting about now?

    Well, one member was so butt-hurt about it he claimed I was picking on mentally challenged children....

    Needless to say, his entire existence here is to spread faux outrage.

    I guess if one doesn't jump to conclusions and react irresponsibly, they would realize that it was simply a response to a question asked by another member.
