CBS Teams with Gay Group to Promote Homosexuality to Teens on TV

By Terry Vanderheyden

NEW YORK, May 4, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – CBS television has teamed up with a homosexual advocacy group to provide public service announcements (PSAs) aimed at promoting the lifestyle to teens.

CBS has joined with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to run the PSAs, which will be dropped into the day-time soap opera “As The World Turns,” to promote acceptance of teen homosexuality. The program will air May 9.

According to a Traditional Values Coalition release, this particular show includes a teenager who tells his parents that he is a homosexual. The PSA will tell viewers that they should take a stand against “discrimination” and “prejudice” faced by homosexuals, bisexuals, and transgendered people (cross-dressers, transsexuals, and homosexual drag queens). The PSA is part of GLAAD’s propaganda campaign called “Be an Ally and a Friend” effort to promote homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality as normal sexual behaviors.

“GLAAD is one of the most dangerous organizations in America,” a TVC explains. “It has a powerful influence over Hollywood and the print media. The group has published its 7th edition of a ‘Media Guide’ that tells journalists what terms they should use in describing homosexuality. It also tells them to avoid giving fair treatment to organizations that are critical of homosexual behavior. In short, this media guide teaches journalists to censor opposing viewpoints.”

“Your voice matters!” TVC emphasizes. “Send a strong message to CBS. It is important for Hollywood and network executives to hear your concerns. In 2002, for example, TVC exposed the efforts of Nickelodeon to promote the homosexual agenda. More than a quarter of a million emails went to Nickelodeon to protest the promotion of homosexual ‘families’ by Linda Ellerbee and hosted by Rosie O’Donnell. They were forced to tone down the show because of the incredible public outrage.”

“GLAAD equates opposition to homosexuality as bigotry, prejudice and discriminatory attitudes—and now CBS is joining with them in promoting their homosexual agenda—to normalize homosexual sex for teenagers!”

Traditional Values Coalition Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon has written a letter of concern to Mr. Leslie Mooves, President and CEO of CBS asking that he provide TVC with equal time to respond to GLAAD’s PSA.

Rev. Sheldon told Moonves: “Most major religion’s denominations consider homosexuality a sinful and disordered behavior. GLAAD calls these Americans discriminatory and hateful because of their religious beliefs.

“At the very least, I believe CBS should apply an equal time standard to this sort of activity. My organization, Traditional Values Coalition, would be willing to discuss some sort of message which would provide the balance lacking from GLAAD’s anti-religious attacks.”

Use TVC’s CapWiz email system to write a letter of concern to Mr. Moonves asking for CBS to give equal time to TVC to present an alternative viewpoint on homosexual behavior. Forward this alert to your friends!
