GLAAD is mad at TV...

GLAAD is complaining because there will be less "gay, lesbian and transgendered" characters on TV shows this season.

Um, ok. I think I'll go call the WB and let them know that I'm mad because there are fewer white guys on their shows this season.

Come on...there has to be something more worthy of serious pursuit.

Oops...I just asked for this thread to be moved to the Gen forum.

I never get this when people like blacks and gays complain about not enough of "our" people blah blah blah. They must realize they are a minority. Gays make up less than 10% of the population yet want to be represented on tv like they are in the majority? Same with blacks... they make up 13% of the population.....although I can't see how they complain about this anymore.

They should realize that people might listen to them if they weren't so gay.
Isn't "The Christopher Lowell Show" enough for them.

whatever ratings say it all, if ppl wanted to watch more blacks or gays then the stuff about ti would get great ratings and all shows would kinda move that way if it were to be so loved, but it doesnt happen so then we must not want it, or those who do dont watch when its on so they dont get represented. oh well straight, white, black, gay, or all in one TV sucks!

What is the The Christopher Lowell Show? Never heard of it. On HBO or something?

I don't care who is on TV....we need better content...better storylines.

I get the feeling that there are those people in Hollywood that wish to NOT tell a story but rather shove an agenda down our throats.

Oh that guy...yeah saw him once. Noticed he prolly didn't chase women, attributed it to being an interior designer. He sure can spruce up a house tho.

Christopher Lowell literally taught me about crown molding and corner hutches. He has his "quirks" but it sure as hell is more entertaining than Martha Stewart or any of those HGTV shows.

Oh, and while I personally disgree with the homosexual lifestyle, I don't think it's necessary for some of the "mild-mannered" bashing in a couple of the replies here; I just posted because I believe advocacy groups can spend their time and money much more effectively than complain about something that has only to do with ratings. Not that I expected the thread to become some kind of logical beacon or anything.

Unfortunately, just about everything is agenda-based. TV, "social awareness" movements, politics...it's all-pervasive and I don't even get disheartened by it anymore. I suppose I'm desensitized to it.
