It wasn’t just CNN’s moronic poll asking whether the “surge” in gay television characters is “bad for society.” HLN, the Time Warner cable network’s sister channel, aired a whole segment about it on Showbiz Tonight, a television program that is actually less watching than Entertainment Tonight.

Last week Showbiz co-host Brooke Anderson broke the news that gay characters keep. popping up. on TV. CANYOUBELIEVE! The news “sparked a huge debate today,” although what caused this outbreak in fraidy cats is unclear. But Dan Gainor, of the Culture And Media Institute (headline from today: “ABC Promote Kimmel Masturbation Jokes as ‘News'”), is on hand to explain why the homosexual invasion of the small screen is bad for America. Unreasonable theories only, please!
We’ve gone over a million times how irresponsible it is for CNN and other media outlets to pretend they’re representing “both sides” of a “controversial” news story by inviting proud bigots on their programs, something they never do when issues of race or gender come up. But so long as the fags keep securing plotlines, CNN will be there to tell us about the alleged outrage.
How about we take this to the next level?

Luckily, so too will Bryan Safi.

What a Dumb Ass Segment for a news organization!
What’s next? A poll asking if Black and Latinos are “invading” television? UGH!
Chuck
Brooke Anderson is a bigot and should be fired. Please boycott Showbiz tonight until they apologize for this bigoted, hate filled segment. Can you imaging a similar story with ‘black’ or ‘Hispanic’ or ‘women’ substituted for gay?
Really CNN, really?

Wait, there are people who are bigoted and are NOT HAPPY with gay characters on tv? Oh come now, you’re just joshing, right???
I’m almost as shocked as when I found out Clay Aiken was gay – I did NOT see that one coming…

I really want to punch that Dan Gainer guy in the jaw. That might relieve my ears from bleeding after hearing this idiot talk!
