Scott Collins reports at LATimes.com that GLAAD, the Griping Leftists Against… something or other… is giddy about ABC Family. The Walt Disney Company owns ABC Family. Anyone remember where they got it? I do.
Homosexuals and crossdressers are actually overrepresented on TV.
Which is why groups like GLAAD do everything they can to pressure the media into portraying homosexual behavior and crossdressing in a positive light. From watching television, you'd probably think every homosexual or crossdressing person is intelligent, funny, attractive, and kind, and you wouldn't know about the correlations to higher rates of mental illness, physical illness, domestic violence, and substance abuse.
And what would be the buying power of people who don't identity as gay or lesbians?
Not a lot of viewers want to see people who are mentally ill, especially if their illness is to the point of having genitalia surgically removed.
It is amazing how much MSM attention these reports get. I really have to applaud the success of the homosexuality advocates, even though some of the things they are doing I think are highly destructive. But such a small group of people have manipulated things so effectively it is remarkable. They got ideological control of so much of academia and the media, have gotten so much legislation passed, have won so much in courts, have gotten a lot of control in the workplace and professional organizations, have gotten religious denominations to abandon thousands of years of doctrine and practices. And still, they manage to get enough people to believe they are "powerless".
I don't want homosexual people smeared in the media. I want them protected, just like I want anyone protected, from crime or the denial of their rights. But I oppose the homosexuality advocates on many other things.
You know who is truly underrepresented on television or depicted negatively? Characters who attend Jewish or Christian religious services regularly or pray regularly.
In its fifth annual Network Responsibility Index, the advocacy group [Leftist] Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) assessed the quality and quantity of gay characters on the broadcast networks plus 10 cable channels from June 2010 to the end of May.
The top score went to the Walt Disney Co.'s cable outlet ABC Family, which is targeted at viewers 14 to 34 and features several series with gay characters, including "Pretty Little Liars" and "Greek." CW earned the best score among any broadcaster, thanks to openly gay characters on shows such as "90210" and "Gossip Girl."
Homosexuals and crossdressers are actually overrepresented on TV.
GLAAD representatives say that representations of gays and lesbians on TV shows is important because the medium helps shape Americans' perceptions.

The group also pointed to the immense buying power of gays and lesbians, estimated at $835 billion in 2011.

One area of concern for GLAAD: the continuing lack of transgender characters on television.

We cut our cable over a year ago. Eliminating the siren call of the Disney Channel was a huge motivation. No regrets.
