Somehow I don’t think that it is any sort of new development that the well-muscled, yet always well-coiffed spandex-wearing, caped superhero has a rather homoerotic vibe. Of course, Richard may just see that as evidence that the gay conspiracy has been going on for decades.

HBO couldn’t make it more obvious of how they are trying to promote this gay guy as Mr Mainstream America, They create this wholesome image of a gay man in a small all-american town.

Instead of what, the sex-crazed drug addict that you’ve convinced yourself is representative of homosexuals based on your observations of street walking drug-addicted prostitutes in Philly? That would be like basing your stereotype of the heterosexual male by hanging out in seedy strip bars, or by basing your stereotype of the heterosexual female by taking a drive down the strip in Las Vegas.

The only reason the image of a homosexual as a mainstream American is foreign to you is that you’ve never considered that a good 2-4% of the mainstream Americans you pass on a daily basis are actually homosexual.

I’m saying that HBO is using the most wholesome image in their indoctrination and brainwashing of America, especially our youth (23 or younger) to get their pro-gay agenda out and flaunting it in our face.

If their pro-gay agenda is the treatment of homosexuals as ordinary citizens with full economic rights, then yes, they’ve brainwashed many people into supporting that. If you’re talking about their plan to turn us all into sissified homosexual automatons, then no… that devious plan still only exists on the shelves of your local Christian comic book store.

I’m not alone when I say, I’m fedup over the content of movies and shows coming out of Hollywood, Cable, and Broadcast TV.

Yet you still subscribe to HBO. Vote with your dollars. The Passion of the Christ killed at the box office. Hollywood may be generally distrustful of and antagonistic towards Christianity, but there is nothing they won’t do for a chance at your entertainment dollar.

Again, they’re all in cohoots, and don’t think for a minute that this twisted culture that they are jamming down our throats does not play a major role in why America has problems and people hate us.

…jamming down our throats, in exchange for our money. I’ve never been forced to watch something I didn’t want to watch. And I’d much rather that America be hated for its freedom (the necessary consequence of which is the tolerance of moral codes that may be different from your own) than be ignored for its irrelevance.

Why does HollyWeird give honors to movies that glorify and flaunt the gay lifestyle? They rarely show the seedy side, which I spoke of.

I’m not sure that Confessions of a Gay, Coked-out Philadelphia Prostitute would do well at the box office… not even among homosexuals.

And Why do they revel in showing the slimey side of any “red-stater” as much as possible?

Most Americans are themselves red-staters. Sex, violence and corruption are entertaining themes to many. I know I’m a big fan of 1973’s Walking Tall.
