My guess is that his question was more of an ice breaker. If having positive role models on TV is part of a gay agenda, fantastic.

Well, I am not afraid to be politically incorect here. In my opinion homosexuallity is a perverted life-style. It is NOT a crime and should be tolerated but not promoted especially not as equal to heterosexuallity.

Give me a break. It has nothing to do with having positive role models. If a young gay man or woman wants a positive role model, there are plenty of successful gay people to choose from. How many people are shallow enough to look to television characters as role models?

Whether people should look to television for role models is moot. They do. By the millions. It simply is a fact of life. Television, whether fiction or nonfiction, impinges on people's lives.

I find it very offensive that we should attack this man simply because he was testing to see if it was ok to post his question here. I am sure it was very difficult for him to do so. As for the person who wrote that homosexuality is perverse, I totally disagree. You are entitled to your opinion, but noone asked you what you thought, and that fact you are using this forum as a way to make this man feel worse makes me sick. Keep your opinions to yourself. Let us hope you never have something about you that you cannot change that makes others attack you for it.

Comments like this just come from projections of a person's own fear and their lack of self-understanding. People are who they are, but the NEED to assert an opinion like this, especially when not asked for it, speaks much more of the person than they realize. Let's try to have compassion for these people.

I'm reminded of an older man who called in the early 1990s wanting a quantity discount on 100 New Behavior Generators. He was going to send them to "queers" in his community to help them change. By the end of the conversation he ordered 101 Self-Esteem Superchargers at full price. We found an organization in his area with a gay outreach program who enthusiastically accepted the donation of 100 tapes. And we sent the 101st to the man on the phone.

Good One, Pete. I just wonder, why, in this day and age, why people make such a big deal over sex--straight or gay. People should be accepted for their contributions to society and not judged on their sexual preferance. jonah

It is interesting that you would quote a lesbian.
