MTV networks is readying for the launch of LOGO, it’s gay and lesbian cable channel. Of course, the fundamentalists are getting their (modest and unsexy) knickers in a twist. Read this very amusing quote from the New York Times:
Still, the same opposition trying to block gay marriage may mobilize against the channel. Mike Haley, a manager of gender issues with the Christian group Focus on the Family, said he worried that the network would encourage young people to think of themselves as gay, just as he said he did for 12 years.
“You have a kid who is looking to fit in, and here you have a network that looks very inviting, very accepting, and this young kid is going to get a false representation of what homosexuality has to offer,” Mr. Haley said. “I really am sad and fearful for these kids who are going to want to be as happy and as happy-go-lucky as Will is on ‘Will & Grace.’ “
Okay, first of all, since when do gay people “fit in?”
Second, I guess he feels that kids will think that homosexual people just have a shiny happy life and never get tied up to fence posts and beaten to death.
Third, does Will on “Will & Grace” seem happy to you?
Fourth… what is the deal with these “ex-gay” nut cases?
