Gay Times on TV
Media Monitor | By Cliff Kincaid | December 29, 2005
The problem is too much, not too little, gay TV.
What passes for a media watchdog show on Fox News has failed again. Discussing the new pro-homosexual propaganda film, Brokeback Mountain, Fox News Watch panelist Jane Hall declared that 10 percent of the U.S. population was gay. Host Eric Burns countered that it may be as low as 5 percent. They were both wrong, as another panelist, James Pinkerton, pointed out. He noted the real figure is 1 percent. It comes from census data. The higher 10 percent figure comes from the discredited work of Alfred Kinsey, who greatly overstated the amount of sexual perversion in the population because he used criminals and pedophiles as his subject matter.
Jane Hall is no ordinary pundit. She teaches journalism at American University and claims a master's degree in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York. And yet she was uninformed about the available scientific data on the number of homosexuals in the population. With people like Jane Hall teaching student journalists, it's no wonder we face a seemingly never-ending problem of liberal bias in the major media.
Burns went on to wonder why 5 or 10 percent of the films and TV programs weren't geared toward a homosexual audience. Did it occur to him that doing programs geared to a small percentage of the population might drive away viewers? The question misses the point, however. The media fall all over themselves catering to the whims and desires of the homosexual lobby. The problem is too much, not too little, gay TV.
LOGO, the new homosexual TV network launched by MTV, is already in 13 million homes. It claims to have "more than 200 lesbian- and gay-themed feature films, an ongoing documentary series, newscasts tailored for the gay and lesbian community and quality original shows and specials."
LOGO has a partnership with CBS News. They are both part of the Viacom media conglomerate. Someone named Jason Bellini of CBS News appears on the channel to bring "exclusive news" of interest to gays and lesbians.
One such news report concerned the first "gay divorce," involving the first civil union couple, Carolyn Conrad and Kathleen Peterson. Conrad had gotten a "relief from abuse" order against Peterson and said she feared physical harm. On the Fox News Watch program, Cal Thomas wondered why the split wasn't getting as much attention as their original loving commitment, which was featured on front pages five years ago.
In response to my recent commentary suggesting the media adopt a "Stop Gay Sex" campaign to save lives, I was contacted for an interview by someone with Q Television World News on the Q Television Network. I declined after discovering that this is yet another homosexual channel.
One show, Queer Edge, hosted by one Jack E. Jett, "takes viewers to the farthest reaches of 'Queerdom'…" Jett delves into all definitions of the word 'queer' with his special guests, video features and celebrity guest co-hosts. Guests have included Buck Angel, a female to male transsexual porn star, and Mark Christian, the former lover of Rock Hudson, who died of AIDS in 1985.
This is worse than Rita Cosby's MSNBC show. This programming poisons our culture. But most commentators are reluctant to say this. Either they are gay themselves, too liberal to care, or fearful of getting hate-filled email messages generated by stories from homosexual David Brock's Media Matters.
My count shows that the homosexuals now have two networks devoted exclusively to their cause. And what about conservatives? We used to have Fox News Channel. Now it runs global warming specials featuring Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and its news coverage is being manipulated by a Saudi Prince and investor in the Fox parent company to benefit global Islam.
Will the Saudi Prince please call Rupert Murdoch and pull the plug on Fox News Watch?

Topic of Discussions- Homophobic Homosexual males living as or currently involved in heterosexual relationships.
These type of relationship and fears are and have been a part of American society for many years, however the use of term HOMOPHOBIC ( see above definition) implies that the male in innately homosexual and fears to the point of sexual, sociological and physiological exclusion a part of his self.
Fears of being seen and or being called a homosexual for males have its root in being seen as feminine, e.g. “ less of a man”. There are strong religious beliefs, male right of passages associated with, being aroused and or the cause of stimuli, the first sexual experience, taking a wife, having children have been used as indications for males as a signs of both maturity and masculinity this since the dawn of time.
Special Note-While such matters for woman where seen in the earlier part of history as a sign of separation from both of her parents, which indicated that she would no longer be under the general family guidance but through marriage her husband would take over this role, care taking and other “wifely roles”. Wife roles for Woman have expanded for the most, the old stereotypical roles have vanished and or come full circle, becoming inclusive to the partnership required to two people entering into a marriage and or a monogamous relationship.
It is these roles that set the general tone and overall expectation for Homosexual relationships, The roles woman play as the feminine and or Masculine part of themselves there is an overall counter reaction to what is considered male, manly etc. Setting a Large part of the tone scales for.the Homosexual community since all aspects of what is feminine center around being female As small child girls, through out adolescence, into almost every aspect of womanhood, from her manner, style, dress has influenced in the Homosexual community. Many may argue that the societal influences early in history and came from within industries dominated by men, However the genetics of a woman, her nature, her inherit style , is not found through simple trends manufactured, sold to her and or purchased by her. It is the innate belong and ownership called “being a woman”.
There has been many areas of Homosexuality that encompass the need to understand and be understood, however for the most part this is true for us all whether the topic is sexuality or not. Could the overall problems associated with fear of same sex relationship be and come within the Homosexual community itself.
Special note-- Minority ( African-American) during Civil Rights issues struggles have been faced with such speculative questions, as criminal acts and actions, passing (much like many minorities have attempted to do) as a part of their groups struggle and their roles in the overall perceptions by those that oppose them.
Passing has played a large role in what is called “gay bashing”. Much like passing has played a key role for non-white ethic groups (whether voluntary on forced). However for the most part Homosexual passing is a choice. Note the for Minority that attempt to pass this is considered an identity crisis and or group hate.
Questions - How have Homosexual addressed such questions as a group?
Do you fell that such question are valid ? if so why and not why not?
Please contact me I would to discuss this mater further with you.
