Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

Book Of Daniel

Controversy follows The Book Of Daniel as often as Jesus Christ tags along with Aiden Quinn's character on the show. This time uppity citizens are threatening the Little Rock WB affiliate that picked up the show after the area's own NBC station exorcised it from its holy schedule.

Threats to the station began pouring in shortly after it made the announcement. They continued after the show aired a spokesperson for the station told 365Gay.com Station spokesperson Gary Robbins defends the decision to run the series and says despite the threats there are no plans to cancel it

These intimidating bullies may have done more work than needed. The ratings gods haven't been on Daniel's side and it appears as if the show might die a quick death all on its own.

book of daniel quinn

Yawn. Another week, another gay-related boycott from The American Family Association. This time they’re turning their love and attention to NBC and the new dramatic series The Book of Daniel. The show is about a druggie Priest and his family who seem to have so many more problems than those ultra-dysfunctional Fishers on Six feet Under.

We learn the AFA office is in desperate need of a thesaurus:

The writer for the series is a practicing homosexual.

The homosexual son will be network prime-time's only regular male homosexual character in a drama series.

They always seem to go out of their way in calling queers “homosexuals” instead of “gay.” But they know a thing or two about pandering to their right wing supporters with effective buzzwords. After all, this is the same organization that changed its name from the bitchy-sounding Federation of Decency to the warm and fuzziness of the American Family Association.

Oh and The Book of Daniel? We’ll be watching.
